UFC Vegas 44 medical suspensions: Jose Aldo, Rob Font potentially out for 6 months

Two bantamweight contenders are potentially facing lengthy medical suspensions following their main event clash on Saturday.

UFC Vegas 44 headliners Jose Aldo and Rob Font could both be out for six months pending clearance from physicians for injuries suffered in their five-round fight, according to the list of medical suspensions acquired by mixedmartialarts.com. Aldo defeated Font via unanimous decision to record his third straight victory and put a stop to Font’s four-fight win streak.

Aldo is listed as having suffered a right orbital fracture, while Font is listed with left orbital and nasal fractures. Both fighters require clearance from an ENT (ear, nose, and throat) doctor to avoid being on the shelf until June.

Five other fighters from UFC Vegas 44 are listed as potentially facing six-month suspensions: Jamahal Hill (left elbow), Jimmy Crute (left orbital, nose), Brendan Allen (left hand), Dusko Todorovic (left foot/ankle), and Alonzo Menifield (left knee).

UFC Vegas 44 was overseen by the Nevada Athletic Commission.
