Bellator 283 medical suspensions: Mukhamed Berkhamov out indefinitely after Lorenz Larkin no contest

Belaltor 283 took place Friday at Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, Wash., and featured 12 bouts of MMA action.

Atop the card, Jason Jackson defeated former welterweight champion Douglas Lima by unanimous decision. Also, RIZIN tournament champion Tofiq Musayev defeated Sidney Outlaw by first-round knockout, and Usman Nurmagomedov quickly tapped Chris Gonzalez with a first-round guillotine choke.

As a result of injuries sustained in the bout, each fighter on the card received a medical suspension from the Washington State Department of Licensing. MMA Junkie acquired the list from the commissioning body Tuesday. The list included suspension durations but not medical specifics.

Two fighters received indefinite suspensions, including Mukhamed Berkhamov, who fought in a no contest against Lorenz Larkin. The fight was waved off after Larkin unintentionally struck Berkhamov in the back of the head. While Berkhamov said he was dizzy and that’s ultimately why the bout was called, Larkin claimed after the fight his opponent was in the doctor’s room with a knee injury.

Roman Faraldo, who knocked out Luis Iniguez, also was handed an indefinite suspension. Faraldo told reporters post-fight he broke his hand on the knockout blow.

Scroll below to see the medical suspensions handed out to each fighter. It’s important to note fighters can return to competition sooner than the allotted suspension if they are cleared by a doctor.
