RFA 31 Medical Suspensions: Marunde, Frausto, Velickovic Facing 6-Month Layoffs

Four fighters from RFA 31 -- including headliner Bristol Marunde -- could be sidelined for six months due to injuries sustained at the Oct. 9 event in Las Vegas.

The Nevada Athletic Commission on Tuesday released to Sherdog.com its list of medical suspensions from the show, which took place outdoors at Downtown Las Vegas Events Center.

Marunde suffered a broken jaw in a failed bid to take the Resurrection Fighting Alliance welterweight title from Gilbert Smith, whose punches caused the injury two minutes into round four. Marunde must have his jaw cleared by a doctor or else sit out until April 9.
