UFC Fight Night 127 injuries and medical suspensions for the athletes who competed at the “Werdum vs Volkov”-led mixed martial arts (MMA) event on Fight Pass last Saturday night (March 17, 2018) from inside O2 Arena in London, England, were released earlier this week and obtained by MMA Junkie.
Leading the list of mandatory timeouts is Jimi Manuwa, who could spend the next 180 days on the bench after having his face busted up during his three-round war against Jan Blachowicz, who won the fight via unanimous decision. Despite coming out the victor, Jan is also facing an extended hiatus following the “Fight of the Night” with an injured hand.
