UFC 152: Medical Suspensions

The medical suspensions list for UFC 152 has been released and shows a number of fighters are facing an indefinite amount of time on the sidelines for various ailments.

Light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones is amongst them as it’s not certain yet exactly how badly damaged his right arm is after the armbar Vitor Belfort applied in the opening round of their fight.

It’s suspected that Jones has nerve damage, but they won’t know for sure until it’s x-rayed.
