UFC 208 Medical Suspensions: Dustin Poirier Receives Indefinite Term

Dustin Poirier was the only fighter to receive an indefinite layoff following this past Saturday’s UFC 208 event in Brooklyn.

The New York State Athletic Commission released a complete list of medical suspensions from the event on Wednesday.

Poirer defeated Jim Miller via majority decision in a featured bout at UFC 208 but appeared to injure his leg after weathering a number of damaging low kicks from his opponent. Poirier must receive NYSAC clearance before he can compete again. Miller, meanwhile, has been suspended for 30 days pending NYSAC clearance.

UFC 208 took place at the Barclays Center and saw Germaine de Randamie claim the inaugural women’s featherweight title with a five-round verdict over Holly Holm in the evening’s main event.
