UFC 157: Medical Suspensions

The medical suspensions list has emerged for last weekend’s UFC 157 event and shows three fighters will have to sit out for up to six months due to the injuries they sustained.

Amongst them is Dan Henderson who faces a six month suspension due to a suspected fractured right hand.

Meanwhile, Josh Koscheck faces the same length of time out for a rotator cuff injury on his right shoulder and Josh Neer for a broken nose.

Finally, Brock Jardine damaged his left thigh and also faces half a year out, though like the other fighters mention above he can be cleared earlier by a doctor.
