UFC on ESPN 31 provided the violence Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, but the highlights came with a price.
As a result of potential injuries sustained in their bouts, seven fighters were handed 180-day medical suspensions by the Nevada Athletic Commission, which oversaw the event.
Among those handed six-month terms were featherweight contenders Jose Aldo (31-7 MMA, 21-6 UFC) and Rob Font (19-4 MMA, 9-5 UFC), who competed in the main event and suffered eye injuries as a result of their battle.
Jamahal Hill, Jimmy Crute, Brendan Allen, Dusko Todorovic, and Alonzo Menifield, who competed on the undercard, also were suspended 180 days for various potential injuries.
On Tuesday, MMA Junkie acquired a full list of medical suspensions from MixedMartialArts.com, the official record keeper of the Association of Boxing Commissions (ABC). All fighters’ suspensions can terminate sooner, should they be cleared by a doctor.
