UFC 283 Medical Suspensions: Deiveson Figueiredo Facing Potential 6-Month Term

It could be a while before Deiveson Figueiredo makes his debut in the UFC’s bantamweight division.

According to UFC 283 medical suspensions released by the Brazilian MMA Athletic Commission (CABMMA), Figueiredo must be cleared by a facial CT scan or face a 180-term. At a minimum, he is suspended for 45 days. Figueiredo revealed on Instagram that he may need surgery for a fractured orbital. The Brazilian lost the flyweight belt to Brandon Moreno via doctor’s stoppage when his right eye swelled completely shut after three rounds.
