Charles Oliveira endured multiple eye pokes during his bout with David Teymur at UFC Fight Night 144, and those fouls could potentially sideline “Do Bronx” for a lengthy amount of time.
Oliveira, who defeated Teymur via second-round submission, is facing a potential 180-day medical suspension unless an ophthalmologist clears his eyes. At a minimum, he is suspended 30 days with 21 days of no contact. Teymur is also suspended 180 days pending ophthalmologist clearance along with a 30-day suspension with 21 days of no contact.
The Brazilian MMA Athletic Commission (CABMMA) recently released a full list of medical suspensions from Saturday’s event.
