UFC Busan was the stage for some violence. The last card of the year for the promotion took place in South Korea and despite there only being five finishes on the 13-fight card, some injuries piled up.
Headliner Frankie Edgar and five other fighters were issued long medical suspensions from the UFC, who handled the regulation of the event themselves due to no governing body operating in the country. The other fighters with a potential 180 days include co-headliner Aleksandar Rakic, Doo Ho Choi (aka the Korean Superboy), Mike Rodriguez, Heili Alateng, and Ryan Benoit.
