Phil Davis returned to the win column at UFC 179, but he could stay out of action for a long time.
Brazilian MMA Athletic Commission (CABMMA) announced on Monday that two of the 22 UFN 179 fighters are suspended six months pending medical clearance after Saturday night’s fights. Phil Davis, who scored a unanimous decision victory over Glover Teixeira in the co-main event, needs clearance of his right hand before stepping back in the Octagon again. Scott Jorgensen, who suffered a first-round loss to Wilson Reis, could also be out 180 days with a rib injury.
