UFC Fight Night 95 medical suspensions: Erick Silva, Luan Chagas given 180-day sits

Seven fighters from this past weekend’s UFC Fight Night 95 event were issued lengthy medical suspensions, and two could be out of action for up to six months.

Erick Silva and Luan Chagas both face medical suspensions that could stretch 180 days.

MMAjunkie today received the list of suspensions from Comissao Atletica Brasileira de MMA (CABMMA) – Brazil’s MMA commission – which oversaw the event.

A total of seven fighters on the 13-bout card were suspended following the event, including main event fighter Lina Lansberg, who was given a 45-day sit with 30 days of no contact after a second-round TKO loss to Cristiane Justino.

All fighters on the card were given a minimum medical suspension of 14 days with seven days of no contact, including Justino and co-main event fighters Renan Barao and Philippe Nover.

Silva and Chagas went toe-to-toe in a back-and-forth welterweight fight on the preliminary card, and Silva ultimately won with a third-round submission.
