The UFC 264 medical suspensions list has been released.
It should come as no surprise that Conor McGregor is facing a suspension that can extend until next year after breaking his tibia in the UFC 264 main event. It may come as a surprise, however, that “Suga” Sean O’Malley is facing a suspension much longer than the man he battered at UFC 264, newcomer Kris Moutinho. O’Malley could also be out until next year if X-ray results on either hand, his left tibia, or his right foot are positive.
