Multiple fighters who competed during a hellacious UFC 283 in Rio De Janeiro could be facing six months out of the octagon after being slapped with medical suspensions.
Deiveson Figueiredo was defeated by doctor's stoppage in his flyweight title tetralogy with Brandon Moreno after suffering an injury which saw his eye swell shut and could force him to have surgery for a broken orbital bone. And he has been joined on the list of medical suspensions by main event fighters Jamahal Hill and Glover Texeira who fought for the light-heavyweight title.
Texeira won't be too concerned about any sort of suspension after retiring on a world title fight in his home country, while Hill will likely provide the necessary scans to put an end to the suspension early. Lauren Murphy, Paul Craig, Ihor Potieria, Melquizael Costa, Cody Stamman, Warlley Alves, Nicolas Dalby and Josiane Nunes are also facing six-month stints on the sidelines.
