UFC Fight Island 6 Medical Suspensions: James Krause Out For 180 Days
The UFC Fight Island 6 medical suspensions are out and only two fighters have been handed long sits.
James Krause was one of them as he earned a unanimous decision win over Claudio Silva in their welterweight bout but notably claimed during the fight that he had torn his right knee. Unless he is cleared by an MRI, he will be suspended from action for six months.
Bantamweight Mark Striegl, meanwhile, will need to be cleared by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon or also sit out for six months. He was notably knocked out in the first round by Said Nurmagomedov in their prelim bout.
Main eventers Brian Ortega and The Korean Zombie have only been handed 30-day and 45-day suspensions respectively after their hard-fought 25-minute battle that saw the former come out on top.
