The medical suspensions list resulting from last weekend’s UFC 170 event has been released and shows a number of fighters facing lengthy suspension as a result of the injuries they sustained in the Octagon.
Among them is main card fighter Rory MacDonald who’s believed to have injured his right ankle during a victory over Demian Maia which could keep him out for up to six months.
Stephen Thompson picked up an injured right hand and Robert Whittaker a damaged left forearm during their wins which also leaves them with a six month suspension.
Rafael Assuncao (left ribs) and Cody Gibson (right hand) wraps up the list of fighters who may have to sit out for half a year.
