UFC 191 medical suspensions: Andrei Arlovski, Frank Mir among five fighters potentially out until 2016

In the aftermath of UFC 191, five fighters received medical suspensions potentially stretching into the new year, including heavyweight co-headliners Andrei Arlovski and Frank Mir. The Nevada Athletic Commission released the event's official medical suspension list Tuesday to MMAFighting.com.

Arlovski and Mir fought to a closely contested decision on the Sept. 5 card, and though Arlovski took home the win, both heavyweights left with potential injuries to their right hands which could keep them out of action until March 5 if not cleared by a doctor. At a minimum, both men will be sidelined until October due to damage taken during the fight.
