Several fighters from the UFC’s second event of the year could see extended time on the sidelines for injuries suffered in their bouts. Four athletes are facing potential six-month sits unless doctors clear them early after UFC on ESPN+ 2, according to the event info released by the Brazilian MMA Athletic Commission (CABMMA). Among those potentially suspended for 180 days is lightweight Charles Oliveira (26-8 MMA, 14-8 UFC), who suffered two eye pokes in the first round against David Teymur (8-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC).
