Former champions Rose Namajunas and Anderson Silva are each facing potential 180-day suspensions following Saturday’s UFC 237 event. Strawweight Namajunas (8-4 MMA, 6-3 UFC) needs to have her neck examined and cleared following her second-round knockout loss to new titleholder Jessica Andrade (20-6 MMA, 11-4 UFC), while middleweight Silva (34-10 MMA, 17-6 UFC) must have his right knee cleared after suffering a TKO loss to Jared Cannonier (12-4 MMA, 5-4 UFC). Main-card winner Laureano Staropoli and loser Bethe Correia are also facing potential six-month orders from the Brazilian athletic commission (CABMMA) following Saturday’s event from Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro.
