Tecia Torres has been handed an indefinite suspension after her loss to Mackenzie Dern at UFC 273 last weekend.
The Florida State Boxing Commission suspended 14 fighters who competed on the pay-per-view card, but top-ranked strawweight Torres was the only fighter to receive an indefinite suspension. Torres went three rounds with Mackenzie Dern on the main card in a back and forth fight. One judge scored it in favour of 'Tiny Tornado', whilst the other two had it for Dern which gave the Brazilian a split decision win.
Unlike most other state athletic commissions, Florida's commission doesn't release the nature of the suspensions. It's unclear why Torres was suspended indefinitely. Reflecting on her loss after the fight, Torres wrote: "50 fights in. Between my amateur & professional Kickboxing, Muay Thai, and MMA career I’ve hit fight #50. Also my 15th fight with the UFC.
