UFC Singapore Medical Suspensions: Two Fighters Earn Max Term

Two fighters at UFC Singapore could be out for quite some time:

The post UFC Singapore Medical Suspensions: Two Fighters Earn Max Term appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.

The medical suspensions for last weekend’s (Sat., June 23, 2018) UFC Fight Night 132 from the Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore, are in, and two fighters have earned the maximum suspension.

The first of them was handed to a winning fighter in Jessica Eye, who picked up a unanimous decision victory over Jessica-Rose Clark at her new home of women’s flyweight. Following a tough run at bantamweight, Eye is looking to become the female 125-pound champ, but she’ll have to wait to continue her mission up to 180 days pending an x-ray of her left foot.

The other fighter to get the full 180 days was Matt Schnell, who will also potentially be out six months pending an x-ray of his left thumb. Schnell also won by decision in Singapore.

The main and co-main event fighters escaped with relatively little damage, as main event winner Leon Edwards will only be out 30 days for simple rest and the man he defeated, longtime veteran Donald Cerrone, will be out 45 days while two lacerations heal. Co-main winner Ovince Saint Preux only received a seven-day suspension for rest, as did his opponent Tyson Pedro.
