UFC on ESPN 44 medical suspensions: Three fighters get 60 days after KO losses

Denny Medley UFC ESPN USA TODAY Sports Missouri Kansas City UFC Fight Night United States Aaron Phillips Arnold Allen

Three fighters face 60-day medical suspensions as a result of stoppage losses by strikes at UFC on ESPN 44.

The event took place this past Saturday at T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Mo. The event was overseen by the Missouri Division of Professional Regulation, which suspended 13 of 28 fighters from the card for medical reasons after their bouts, according to a list published Wednesday by the commission.

It’s important to note fighters can return sooner than the expiration date of their medical suspension should they receive proper medical clearance from a doctor. In addition, the commission does not list reasons for medical suspensions – just durations.
