UFC Busan medical suspensions: Frankie Edgar, 5 others receive six-month suspensions

Frankie Edgar had a short fight on Saturday that could leave him on the shelf for a long time.

“The Answer” was knocked out in 3:18 by Chan Sung Jung in the main event of UFC Busan and he suffered damage to his right orbital according to a list of medical suspensions acquired by MixedMartialArts.com. Edgar has received a provisional suspension of six months, as did five other fighters from this past weekend’s card.

Along with Edgar, Aleksandar Rakic (left shin hematoma), Doo Ho Choi (left wrist), Mike Rodriguez (dental), Heili Alateng (right foot), and Ryan Benoit (right thumb) could all be out for up to 180 days pending clearance from a physician.
