UFC 247 medical suspensions: Jones, Reyes face equal time; Shevchenko out potential 6 months

Jon Jones and Dominick Reyes battled for five rounds at UFC 247, but it seems they’ve come out relatively unscathed.

The pair of headliners each received a 31-day suspension, according to a Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation document obtained Tuesday. The Texas commission was responsible for regulating UFC 247, which took place at Toyota Center in Houston.

Conversely, UFC women’s flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko is facing a potentially lengthy suspension after her third-round TKO victory over Katyln Chookagian in the evening’s co-main event. According to the TDLR, Shevchenko is facing a 181-day suspension, while Chookagian was handed a potential 45-day term.

Two other winners, Journey Newson and Andre Ewell, are also facing potential 181-day suspensions.

Check out a full list of the UFC 247 medical suspensions below.

(Note: No specific injury details were given. It’s also important to note that, due to the lack of specific information, it’s unclear if any fighters have the ability to have their suspensions shortened if cleared by a doctor.)
