Li Jingliang has been shut down for 60 days by following a brutal knockout by Carlos Prates at UFC 305 last Saturday.
MMA Junkie revealed the news on Li after acquiring a full list of medical suspensions from the commission at the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries of Western Australia. UFC 305 was conducted at RAC Arena in Perth, Australia.
While middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis versus Israel Adesanya served as the headliner, perhaps no fighter had a bigger night than Prates. The 31-year-old UFC rookie, fighting in his third bout for the promotion, scored a historic victory in improving to 3-0 with the UFC.
The “Dana White’s Contender Series” alum became the first person to knock out Li, flooring the 36-year-old Chinese fighter a minute into the second round in the welterweight bout. The Brazilian Prates landed a series of blows to leave Li stunned and slow to defend himself on the fence, then finished the job with a left hook.
Li has fought exclusively with UFC for 10 years and fell to 19-9-0 in his overall career.
