Rafael Carvalho may have gotten a victory over Joe Schilling at Bellator 136, but he did not make it out of their middleweight co-headlining bout unscathed.
The Brazilian is facing six months on the sidelines for a potentially fractured jaw suffered in his split-decision triumph over the Glory veteran at Bren Events Center in Irvine, Calif., on Friday night. Carvalho, who must receive doctor clearance to compete, is one of six fighters from Bellator 136 that received a six-month suspension, according to the California State Athletic Commission.
