Following an exciting “Fight of the Night”-winning slugfest at last Saturday’s (March 17, 2018) UFC Fight Night 127 from the O2 Arena in London, England, light heavyweights Jan Blachowicz and Jimi Manuwa could be on the sidelines for quite some time.

If he is cleared he could return sooner, but will still be suspended for 30 days including 21 days with no contact.
On the other hand, Manuwa will also face the full six-month sit unless he has his broken nose cleared by an ear, nose, and throat doctor. He also will be suspended for a mandatory 45 days with no contact.
