UFC St. Petersburg Medical Suspensions: Alexey Oleynik Facing Potential 180-Day Layoff

Alexey Oleynik is facing a potentially lengthy layoff following his loss to Alistair Overeem in the UFC St. Petersburg headliner this past Saturday.

The 41-year-old heavyweight has been suspended 180 days for a left rib fracture pending clearance from an orthopedic doctor. Oleynik was dropped by an Overeem knee and finished by ground-and-pound 4:45 into the opening stanza. Overeem, meanwhile, received a mandatory seven-day suspension.

The UFC, which regulated the event, released a full list of medical suspensions to MMAjunkie.com. UFC Fight Night 149 took place at Yubileyney Arena in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Only one other fighter from the event is facing a possible six-month suspension. Sung Woo Choi, who lost a unanimous verdict to Movsar Evloev, will be sidelined 180 days unless he is cleared by a nasal X-ray. At a minimum he is suspended for 45 days.
