UFC 251 and UFC on ESPN 13 Medical Suspensions: Kamaru Usman gets 180 days

In the past seven days the UFC hosted its first events on what it has dubbed ‘Fight Island’. The promotion has, of course, visited Yas Island, UAE in the past, but let’s not worry about that.

In the wake of both UFC 251 and UFC on ESPN 13, the UFC has released a list of medical suspensions. In UAE the UFC acts as its own commission so these suspensions were developed by the promotion themselves.

This info comes via Kirik Jenness, who posted them to his UnderGround forum at mixedmartialarts.com.

The suspensions for UFC 251, which saw Kamaru Usman defend his welterweight crown against short notice replacement Jorge Masvidal as as follows:

Kamaru Usman: 180 Days or cleared by Nasal X-Ray and 21 Days No Contact.
