Co-main event participants Yair Rodriguez and Josh Emmett were among the five fighters who received six-months suspensions, the longest term given to any fighters on the card.
UFC 284 took place Feb. 11 at RAC Arena and was headlined by a lightweight title fight between Islam Makhachev and Alexander Volkanovski.
