Two up-and-coming prospects were given potential six-month medical suspensions in the aftermath of The Ultimate Fighter 28 Finale.
The Nevada Athletic Commission released the event’s finalized medical suspension report to MMA Fighting on Monday.
Heavyweight TUF 28 winner Juan Espino, who defeated Justin Frazier via first-round submission, and flyweight prospect Alex Perez, who suffered a first-round knockout loss to Joseph Benavidez, were the two fighters given the longest potential medical suspensions. As a result of potential damage sustained in the contest, both Espino (right knee) and Perez (right hand) will be forced to seek doctor’s clearance on their respective injuries or sit out six months before returning to active competition, per commission officials.
