The list of medical suspensions for UFC Fight Island 3 are out, and two fighters face six months off.
The medical suspensions are in for the UFC’s final card on Fight Island which took place this past weekend, and two fighters are facing six months away from the octagon.
Peter Sobotta, who lost a unanimous decision to Alex Oliveira, is out for 180-days unless his forearm x-ray is cleared by a doctor.
