Short-notice hero Paul Felder needs to take a few steps to avoid a six-month suspension after his loss against Rafael dos Anjos in the headliner of UFC Vegas 14 this past Saturday.
Felder first needs an X-ray or MRI of his right elbow, according to medical suspensions released by the Nevada Athletic Commission (courtesy of official ABC records keeper Mixedmartialarts.com). If “positive” for a serious injury, he needs to get a doctor’s clearance or he will be suspended until May 14. Felder’s rep didn’t immediately return a request for comment on the nature of the injury.
