UFC 226 Medical Suspensions: Cormier, Felder, Costa Facing Potential 6-Month Layoffs

New heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier is one of three fighters from UFC 226 who could be looking at a lengthy time on the shelf due to injury.

The Nevada Athletic Commission released a list of medical suspensions from this past Saturday’s event, which took place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and saw Cormier dispatch Stipe Miocic via first-round knockout in the evening’s headliner. Cormier needs to have his right hand x-rayed and cleared by an orthopedic doctor or he will be suspended until Jan. 4. At a minimum, “DC” is suspended until Aug.
