UFC Fight Night 197 medical suspensions: Yair Rodriguez could return in 45 days

UFC Fight Night 197 featured nine finishes, eight knockouts, and a main event war, resulting in a long list of medical suspensions issued by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

The event, which took place this past Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, saw Max Holloway (23-6 MMA, 19-6 UFC) outgun Yair Rodriguez (13-3 MMA, 8-2 UFC) over the course of five rounds to claim a unanimous decision in a bout where both men were transported immediately to the hospital.

MMA Junkie obtained the full list of medical suspensions for UFC Fight Night 197, and surprisingly the headliners were on the lighter end of the spectrum when it comes to required time off in the aftermath of the event.
