UFC 255 injuries and medical suspensions were submitted to MixedMartialArts.com earlier today for those athletes competing at the “Figueiredo vs. Perez” pay-per-view (PPV) event this past weekend (Sat., Nov. 21, 2020) from inside UFC APEX in Las Vegas.
Not surprisingly, a fair share of combatants were handed mandatory timeouts, including flyweight headliner Alex Perez, who could be out of action until next May. Same goes for 125-pound bruiser Brandon Royval, thanks to his removable shoulder.
