UFC Fight Night 163 injuries and medical suspensions for the athletes who competed at the “Zabit vs Kattar”-led event on Saturday Nov. 9, 2019, which took place in Moscow, Russia, have been released by Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).
Leading the way in mandatory sits is Greg Hardy, who was hit with a six-month suspension after suffering a hand injury during his co-headlining bout against Alexander Volkov (relive it here). “The Prince of War” ended up losing a three-round decision loss to “Drago” after taking the bout on just a few week’s notice.
Furthermore, Abubakar Nurmagomedov, was also hit with a six-month sit after suffering an elbow injury during his loss to David Zawada (recap). Check out the full list of injuries and medical suspensions for UFC Fight Night 163 (via mixedmartialarts.com).
