Jake Paul undercard fighter suspended indefinitely after brutal KO

The medical suspensions for Jake Paul vs Anderson Silva are in and one fighter has been handed an indefinite suspension after scoring a brutal knockout.

Anthony Hannah, who fought Eliezer Silva in the opening bout of the night, was knocked out in the second round of their super-welterweight bout. Silva, a sparring partner of former UFC legend Anderson, slipped a punch from Hannah and landed a perfect left hook followed by a right hand to drop his opponent, leaving him face-first on the canvas.

Hannah was able to get back to his feet but was on wobbly legs as the referee gave him a ten-count, with the fight being waved off. Despite Hannah suffering his third consecutive knockout loss, Silva was the fighter handed an indefinite suspension as he won his professional debut on the night whilst Hannah was suspended for 30 days.
