UFC 226 medical suspensions: Daniel Cormier, Paul Felder, Paulo Costa face possible six months

nt"

Three fighters are looking at possible six-month medical suspensions stemming from their fights at UFC 226.

MMAjunkie today obtained the list of medical suspensions issued by the Nevada State Athletic Commission, which regulated this past Saturday’s pay-per-view event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Among the fighters facing 180 days is new dual UFC champion Daniel Cormier, who claimed the heavyweight title with a first-round knockout of Stipe Miocic in the night’s headliner. Miocic today told MMAjunkie Radio that he broke his right index finger near his knuckle. The NSAC has ordered Cormier to have his hand checked out by an orthopedic doctor and receive clearance to return, otherwise he is suspended until Jan. 4, 2019.

The same goes for Paul Felder and Paulo Costa. Felder, who lost a decision to Mike Perry, must have his broken right ulnar (bone in his forearm) cleared by a doctor. Felder suffered the injury when he threw a spinning backfist during the fight. Costa, meanwhile, must have his left ankle and foot cleared by a doctor. Costa was a winner at UFC 226, defeating Uriah Hall by second-round TKO.

A total of 15 were suspended following the event. The full list of medical suspensions for UFC 226 includes:

  • Stipe Miocic: suspended until Sept. 6.
  • Daniel Cormier: needs right hand x-rayed; if positive, must be cleared by orthopedic doctor or suspended until Jan. 4, 2019; minimum suspension until Aug. 7 with no contact until July 29.
