Monday, the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation's (TDLR) Combative Sports division released its list of medical suspensions following this past Saturday's UFC 211 card in Dallas and it's featherweights Gabriel Benitez and Chas Skelly facing the longest time on the shelf.

UFC 211 took place at the American Airlines Center and was headlined by the UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic's first-round knockout win over Junior dos Santos.
