The light heavyweight rematch between Jan Blachowicz and Jimi Manuwa at UFC Fight Night 127 earned both men a $50,000 post-fight bonus, but it could also leave both sidelined for an extended period.
According to medical suspensions released by the UFC to MixedMartialArts.com, Blachowicz and Manuwa are facing six-month sits pending doctor clearance. Blachowicz avenged a previous defeat to “Poster Boy” with a unanimous decision triumph in the co-main event at the O2 Arena in London on Saturday.
Blachowicz is out 180 days unless his left hand is cleared by a doctor.
