Bellator 274 winner Adam Piccolotti has been suspended after he posted a video of what the Association of Boxing Commissions president is calling an “unnecessarily dangerous” weight-cutting process.
Piccolotti defeated Georgi Karakhanyan by unanimous decision Saturday at Mohegan Sun Arena. Afterward, he posted an Instagram video, which shows him crawling out of a portable sauna and vomiting green/yellow fluid all over a grounded towel. Piccolotti also stated in the caption that he “continued throwing up 20-plus times through the night.”
On Wednesday, Mazzulli informed MMA Junkie that the lightweight contender has been suspended four to six months and will have to receive clearance from a nephrologist in order to return. Nephrologists are medical professionals who treat conditions and diseases of the kidneys.
