Seven fighters who fought on Saturday’s card at UFC APEX in Las Vegas are facing potential six-month suspensions, the majority of them related to hand issues.
Parker Porter, Bill Algeo, Norma Dumont, Ashlee Evans-Smith, and Rachael Ostovich will all require x-rays on injured hands and clearance from a physician before being permitted to fight again. Otherwise, they will be suspended until May of next year.
Also facing six-month suspensions are Takashi Sato, who suffered a left orbital fracture that requires clearance from an OMF (oral and maxillofacial) or ENT (ear, nose, and throat) doctor, or a plastic surgeon, and Jonathan Pearce, who requires an X-ray and clearance from a physician for a foot injury.
Headliners Anthony Smith and Devin Clark escaped Saturday’s event without any notable injuries.
