The medical suspensions list has been released for Saturday night’s UFC 179 event and shows that Phil Davis has been handed a six month medical suspension due to a suspected fractured right hand, sustained during his decision win over Glover Teixeira.
Also facing up to half a year on the sidelines is Scott Jorgensen who has suspected broken ribs after a particularly vicious kick courtesy of Wilson Reis who would go on to finish him by submission shortly afterwards.
Most other fighters appear to have emerged relatively unscathed from the night’s action, those main eventers Jose Aldo and Chad Mendes will both undergo a 60 day suspension after their five round war.
