Stipe Miocic’s awkward fall upon being knocked out by Francis Ngannou apparently won’t keep him on the sidelines any longer than normal.
Miocic received a 60-day medical suspension after relinquishing the heavyweight crown to Ngannou in the UFC 260 main event, according to mixedmartialarts.com. That suspension is typical for those who have suffered a knockout defeat for precautionary reasons. Ngannou, meanwhile, received a 30-day medical suspension.
UFC 260 took place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on Saturday night. Five fighters from the card are facing potential six-month suspensions pending medical clearance: Gillian Robertson (right hand), Jamie Mullarkey (right hand, wrist), Fabio Cherant (right ribs), Omar Morales (right tibia, thumb) and Shane Young (left tibia, fibula).
