UFC Vegas 18 medical suspensions: Alistair Overeem, 6 others facing potential 6-month suspensions

Alistair Overeem might have plenty of time to think about his next career move.

The veteran heavyweight suffered a brutal loss at the hands of Alexander Volkov in the UFC Vegas 18 main event this past Saturday and could be out of action for six months, according to the list of official medical suspensions from mixedmartialarts.com.

Overeem, 40, was diagnosed with a nasal bone fracture following the 15th KO/TKO loss of his career. He requires clearance from an ENT (ear, nose, and throat doctor) or he will be suspended from competition until Aug.
