UFC 251 medical suspensions: Champ Kamaru Usman faces potential six-month suspension

UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman needs a clean X-ray of his nose to avoid a six-month medical suspension.

Usman dominated short-notice opponent Jorge Masvidal at UFC 251, but he didn’t emerge unscathed, according to medical suspensions issued by the promotion, which served as the event’s de facto regulator because there are no state athletic commissions in Abu Dhabi. The suspensions were provided by official records keeper mixedmartialarts.com.

Two other fighters received potential six-month suspensions after their fights: Davey Grant, who reported a broken jaw after a knockout win over Martin Day, and Maxim Grishin, who lost a unanimous decision to Marcin Tybura and also needs a nasal X-ray.

All fighters on the 13-bout card received a mandatory seven-day term.
