Bellator 222 Medical Suspensions: Eduardo Dantas Gets 90 Days After KO Defeat
By: Tristen Critchfield Jun 18, 2019
Eduardo
Dantas will be sidelined 90 days following his second-round
knockout loss to Juan
Archuleta at Bellator 222.
The New York State Athletic Commission recently released medical
suspensions from this past Friday’s event. Dantas’ term was the
longest of any fighter on the card, which took place at Madison
Square Garden in New York. A right hook from Archuleta knocked
Dantas unconscious with one second remaining in the second
frame.
Chael
Sonnen and Aaron Pico,
both of whom suffered TKO defeats, each received a 60-day sit.
Sonnen, however, retired after his loss to Lyoto
Machida in the co-main event. The NYSAC doesn’t reveal the
specific nature of each athlete’s suspension. No one else on the
card received longer than 30 days.
