UFC welterweight champ Kamaru Usman needs a nasal X-ray before he can be cleared to fight agian.
In the past seven days the UFC hosted its first events on what it has dubbed ‘Fight Island’. The promotion has, of course, visited Yas Island, UAE in the past, but let’s not worry about that.
In the wake of both UFC 251 and UFC on ESPN 13, the UFC has released a list of medical suspensions. In UAE the UFC acts as its own commission so these suspensions were developed by the promotion themselves.
This info comes via Kirik Jenness, who posted them to his UnderGround forum at mixedmartialarts.com.
