UFC took place on ABC 5 on Saturday at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida and featured 13 fights.
There were back and forth fights, knockouts, eye gouging, and submissions. Through these fights, athletes have sustained injuries that will put them on the shelf for quite some time, unless cleared by a doctor.
On Tuesday, MMA Junkie obtained a list of athletes’ medical suspensions from the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulations (FDBPR), the sanctioning body that oversaw the event. The FDBPR does not disclose injury details, but does indicate suspension periods.
At the head of the card, Ilia Topuria proved to be a top contender when he dominated Josh Emmett en route to a unanimous decision, including a rare 10-7 card. The two headliners were suspended indefinitely by the FDBPR thereafter.
Seven fighters in total were handed indefinitely, while two were given fixed stints and the rest of the card was cleared on fight night. Fighters are allowed to return before the end of their assigned period if approved by a doctor.
