Gilbert Burns, Khaos Williams and Joseph Holmes have all been suspended indefinitely following their fights at UFC 288 this past weekend.
Burns suffered a shoulder injury in the opening round of his welterweight fight against fellow top contender Belal Muhammad, an injury that will require him to get clearance from a doctor before competing again. The Brazilian was decisively beaten by Muhammad, who also claims that he entered the fight nursing an ankle injury.
Medical suspensions for the UFC 288 event were released by the New Jersey Athletic Control Board, which regulated last Saturday’s pay-per-view event at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. 14 of the 24 fighters that competed at the event were handed medical suspensions, with Williams needing clearance for injuries to his foot and knee whilst Holmes must undergo a scan of his forearm.
