UFC on ESPN 33 medical suspensions: Curtis Blaydes among four facing lengthy terms
Curtis Blaydes may have had a flawless performance at UFC on ESPN 33, but he didn’t come out unscathed.
Blaydes scored a second-round knockout of Chris Daukaus in this past Saturday’s headliner at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, but will need clearance from an orthopedic doctor for his right foot before returning to action.
Also looking at indefinite terms are Danaa Batgerel, who was knocked out by Chris Gutierrez, Marc Diakiese who needs clearance from an orthopedic doctor for his right hand and right foot after he defeated Viacheslav Borshchev by unanimous decision, and Borshchev himself, who needs his right wrist and right foot checked out.
Wednesday, MMA Junkie acquired a full list of medical suspensions from Ohio Athletic Commission executive director Bernie Profato. All fighters’ suspensions can terminate sooner should they be cleared by a doctor.
