UFC bantamweight headliner Jimmie Rivera was one of two fighters to be issued a 90-day medical suspension in the aftermath of UFC Utica.
The New York State Athletic Commission released the event’s medical suspension report Tuesday to MMA Fighting.
Rivera suffered a brutal knockout loss just 33 seconds into his main-event contest against Marlon Moraes at UFC Utica. As a result of damage sustained in the contest, Rivera will be forced to sit out 90 days before returning to active competition, per NYSAC officials.
