UFC Vegas 39 medical suspensions: Mackenzie Dern, 8 others facing possible six-month suspensions

Mackenzie Dern injured her right thumb during her fight with Marina Rodriguez at UFC Vegas 39 on Saturday night and has received a potential six-month medical suspension from the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) as a result.

To avoid being on the sidelines for an extended period, Dern must have an X-ray on the damaged appendage and get clearance from an orthopedic doctor before returning to the Octagon. Also facing a lengthy layoff is Randy Brown, who suffered toe and knee injuries in his fight against Jared Gooden.

The full list of suspensions can be seen below (obtained by mixedmartialarts.
