Raphael Assunção and Cub Swanson are two of six fighters from UFC Vegas 45 facing six-month medical suspensions from the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC).
Assução suffered an injured left knee in his second-round technical knockout loss to Ricky Simón on the featured bantamweight fight of the main card. The now No. 15 ranked contender must have an MRI done on his left knee and be cleared by an orthopedic doctor before he can return to the Octagon.
Cub Swanson made short work of Darren Elkins, who he finished via first-round technical knockout in a ‘Performance of the Night’ awarded outing.
