On Wednesday, the NAC suspended UFC heavyweight Ilir Latifi for three months after he competed Oct. 1 at UFC Fight Night 212 with a possible staph infection. Latifi revealed the ailment in his in-cage interview and said he fought with a swollen leg and fever . While his purse was not fined, Latifi won’t fight until Jan. 1 and will have to pay legal fees for the commission’s process
