Five fighters from UFC Lincoln could be out for up to six months due to medical suspensions.
UFC Lincoln turned out to be a decent night of violence, which usually means a decent list of wounded. James Vick was brutally knocked out by Justin Gaethje, Tim Williams got caught with a perfectly-timed head kick by Eryk Anders, and Cortney Casey and Angela Hill exchanged a solid amount of leather.
Medical suspensions can be tricky given that fighters don’t always follow the rules — or in Dan Hardy’s case, the rules aren’t even all that clear to begin with. Hopefully Nebraska is on top of it.
