UFC 163 Medical Suspension List: Aldo And Zombie Lead The Pack
With UFC 163 in the rear view mirror, all that is left to do is analyze the fallout of the event in the form of the medical suspension list. Leading the pack for the event were Jose Aldo and Chan Sung Jung, who both suffered nasty injuries in their Featherweight title fight.
The Brazilian athletic commission released the following stats in the wake of Ufc 163:
Jose Aldo: suspended 90 days with 60 days no contact for fracture in right foot
Chan Sung Jung: suspended 180 days or until cleared by doctor, needs an MRI
Phil Davis: suspended 180 days or until cleared by doctor, needs an X-ray of right foot
Lyoto Machida suspended 30 days with 21 days no contact
Cezar Ferreira: suspended 14 days with seven days no contact
Thiago Santos: suspended 90 days with 60 days no contact
Thales Leites: suspended 30 days with 21 days no contact
Tom Watson: suspended 45 days with 30 days no contact
John Lineker: suspended 30 days with 21 days no contact
Jose Maria: suspended 45 days with 30 days no contact
Anthony Perosh: suspended 14 days with seven days no contact
Vinny Magalhaes: suspended 45 days with 30 days no contact
Amanda Nunes: suspended 180 days or until cleared by doctor, needs X-ray of right rib
Shiela Gaff: suspended 45 days with 30 days no contact
Sergio Moraes: suspended 14 days with seven days no contact
Neil Magny: suspended 14 days with seven days no contact
Rani Yahya: suspended 30 days with 21 days no contact
Ian McCall: suspended 180 days or until cleared by doctor, needs X-ray of right hand
Iliarde Santos: suspended 30 days with 21 days no contact
Josh Clopton: suspended 30 days with 21 days no contact
Francimar Barroso: suspended 30 days with 21 days no contact
Viscardi Andrade: suspended 14 days with seven days no contact
Bristol Marunde: suspended 45 days with 30 days no contact
So not as bad as we may have originally suspected for Aldo and Zombie, but a still a lengthy lay off for the champion. The positive here is that the layoff might leave enough time for a clear number one contender to seperate themselves from the pack, in the extremely busy Featherweight division.
