UFC 255: Figueiredo vs. Perez medical suspensions - Title challengers both face 6 months

With the fights all done and dusted, it’s time to account for the damage. UFC 255 may not have been the most violent card of the year, but with six stoppages (five via KO/TKO), and a couple of hard fought three round wars, more than a few fighters are walking away from this event in need of some good R&R and a chance to heal up before they fight again.

Most notably, both title challengers – Alex Perez and Jennifer Maia – are facing the potential for six months on the sidelines. Perez apparently picked up an injury to his right hand during his sub-two-minute loss to Deiveson Figueiredo.
