Several fighters from Saturday’s UFC 187: Johnson vs. Cormier event in Las Vegas received what could potentially be lengthy medical suspensions.
Topping the list were new UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier, who needs an MRI within the next six months, and several other fighters that could be suspended for up to six months depending upon their medical follow-ups.
The Nevada Athletic Commission is requiring Cormier to have a follow-up MRI “with and without contrast in six months.” That could keep him sidelined until November.
Fighters that could be out until Nov.
