The medical suspensions for UFC Fight Island 2 have been released and unsurprisingly, Luana Carolina will be out for a while.
Carolina was the victim of a brutal kneebar submission from Ariane Lipski in their women’s flyweight main card encounter this past weekend. She notably needed assistance walking back from the Octagon after the fight.
As a result, she will now be sidelined from competing for six months unless she can provide a clean MRI on her left knee.
Meanwhile, Joseph Benavidez will be out for 45 days with no contact for 30 days after getting knocked down three times en route to a first-round submission defeat to Deiveson Figueiredo in their flyweight title headliner.
