UFC 195 medical suspensions: Dustin Poirier, two others potentially out six months

Dustin Poirier and his badly broken nose headlined a list of four fighters to receive extended medical suspensions in the aftermath of UFC 195, according to information released Monday to MMA Fighting by the Nevada Athletic Commission.

Poirier battered Irish lightweight Joseph Duffy on the UFC Fight Pass portion of Saturday night's card, but still emerged from his decision win needing to receive doctor's clearance on his fractured nose or be held out of competition until July 2.

Three other fighters were handed similarly lengthy medical sentences: Kyle Noke (fractured nose), Sheldon Westcott (left knee, right hand), and Joe Soto (eye).

UFC 195 took place Jan. 2 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, NV. Robbie Lawler defended his UFC welterweight title with a memorable win over Carlos Condit in the night's main event.
