UFC heavyweight Ilir Latifi has been suspended for three months after he failed to disclose an infection ahead of his win in October.
The heavyweight star had been on a streak of three losses until February 2020 when he defeated Tanner Boser in his comeback after a year out in 2021. Latifi then fought and defeated Aleksei Oleinik by unanimous decision during a contest in October as he looks to continue his revival at heavyweight.
Latifi showed his dominance throughout the fight but declared after the final bell that he had been suffering a staph infection - which is a condition which has an effect on the skin. And during the UFC's monthly meeting yesterday, it has been confirmed that 'The Sledgehammer' will be out of action until the new year.
