Jose Aldo, Rob Font and Five Other Fighters Face up to Six Months Suspension After UFC Fight Night

UFC Vegas 44 concluded the past weekend with Jose Aldo getting his hand raised over Rob Font. ‘Junior’ turned back the clock and put on an impressive display to extend his win streak to 3-0 at 135-pounds. With the win, Jose Aldo has now set himself up for a number contender fight against TJ Dillashaw, which in all likelihood will be next for the ‘King of Rio’. 

Overall, out of the six fights on the main card, four ended in stoppages. In the co-main event, Rafael Fiziev secured a stunning third-round knockout win over Brad Riddell to extend his win streak to 5-0 in the UFC. 

Chris Curtis secured an impressive second-round knockout win over Brendan Allen. The bout took place in the UFC’s middleweight division. This was followed by an insane comeback win by long-time UFC veteran Clay Guida. ‘The Carpenter’ was thoroughly dominated in the first round. He was able to turn the tide and secured a submission win inside two-minute of round number two. This was followed by an insane 48-second knockout win by Jamahal Hill over Jimmy Crute. 

After a hard-fought night of fights, the athletic commission has handed out a suspension of close to half a year for seven fighters on the card. We take a look at the suspensions handed out to the fighters on the main card below.
