PFL 6 medical suspensions: 3 fighters receive indefinite suspensions following losses
Several vicious knockouts delivered at the PFL 6 card this past Friday night have resulted in a number of fighters receiving indefinite medical suspensions as a result.
On Monday, the Georgia Athletic and Entertainment Commission confirmed the medical suspensions handed down after the third and final PFL card took place in Atlanta.
Anthony Romero, who suffered a brutal knockout courtesy of a knee strike from Olivier Aubin-Mercier, received a mandatory 60 day suspension along with an indefinite suspension pending neurological clearance following the fight. That means Romero has to get medically cleared before competing again.
The same could be said for Dilano Taylor after he received a mandatory 45-day suspension for his knockout loss to Carlos Leal. Taylor will also face an indefinite suspension until he gets neurological clearance to compete again.
Finally, Jarrah Al-Silawi received a mandatory 90-day suspension after he suffered a knockout loss to Solomon Renfro on the preliminary card this past Friday. As a result, Al-Silawi will also face an indefinite suspension pending neurological clearance.
Outside of those suspensions only Shane Mitchell received more than 30 days off after he suffered a knockout loss to Sadibou Sy in the co-main event. Mitchell is required to sit out for a mandatory 45-day suspension after that loss.
