Charles Oliveira suspended 60 days by NYSAC for leaving cage at UFC 210

Charles Oliveira is the latest fighter to face sanctions from the New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC).

Following his victory at UFC 210, Oliveira was given a 60-day suspension by the commission for exiting the cage during his contest against Will Brooks at the KeyBank Center in Buffalo, New York. The NYSAC confirmed the news Wednesday following an initial report by ESPN.

An emotional Oliveira scaled the fence and embraced his cornermen outside of the Octagon just moments after submitting Brooks with a first-round rear-naked choke at UFC 210.
