UFC Vegas 21 medical suspensions: Belal Muhammad receives minimum suspension, five others potentially out for six months

Despite suffering one of the uglier eye pokes in recent memory, Belal Muhammad appears to have escaped UFC Vegas 21 without a major injury.

Saturday’s main event between Muhammad and Leon Edwards ended in a disappointing no contest when Edwards fouled Muhammad with an eye poke that left him unable to continue fighting. Later that evening, Muhammad shared a positive update on social media in which he wrote that he didn’t expect there to be any permanent damage.

According to the official list of medical suspensions released Tuesday by mixedmartialarts.
