John Makdessi won't be the only one sidelined for an extended length of time due to injuries suffered this past weekend. In addition to Makdessi, five other fighters received substantial medical suspensions in the aftermath of UFC 187, including championship headliners Daniel Cormier and Vitor Belfort, plus ‘Fight of the Night' winners Andrei Arlovski and Travis Browne, according to information released to MMAFighting.com by the Nevada Athletic Commission.
UFC 187 took place May 23 in the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, NV. Cormier submitted Anthony Johnson to claim the vacant UFC light heavyweight title in the night's featured bout, while Chris Weidman finished Belfort inside the first round to defend his middleweight title in the co-main event.
