UFC on ESPN 13 preliminary card fighter Diana Belbita grimaced in pain after getting armbarred by Liana Jojua, and now she may be out of action for six months.
According to medical suspensions issued by the UFC, which regulated Wednesday’s event in Abu Dhabi, Belbita needs an MRI of her right elbow to avoid an extended layoff. She was one of four fighters who received a potential 180-day term.
UFC on ESPN 13 medical suspensions were released by official records keeper mixedmartialarts.com.
Flyweight co-headliner Ryan Benoit also faces a six-month medical suspension for his right thumb after UFC on ESPN 13.
