A 25-minute slugfest between José Aldo and Rob Font left both men with similar injuries after UFC Vegas 44 this past Saturday.
Aldo won the fight via unanimous decision, but the former featherweight kingpin turned ranked bantamweight contender suffered a right orbital fracture that led to him receiving a potential six-month medical suspension by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) on Tuesday. Font was given the same suspension after it was revealed that he sustained a left orbital fracture in his loss.
Both men must have their fractures cleared by an Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) doctor to avoid being away from competition until June of next year.
