UFC Vegas 46 medical suspensions: Giga Chikadze faces indefinite suspension, Calvin Kattar potentially out 6 months

The damage could be seen clearly on Giga Chikadze’s face on Saturday. What’s not clear is when he will fight again.

In the main event of UFC Vegas 46, Chikadze lost a unanimous decision to Calvin Kattar after five hard rounds that were markedly in Kattar’s favor and according to the official list of medical suspensions acquired by mixedmartialarts.com Chikadze is facing an indefinite suspension. He will undergo an MRI and be evaluated by a neurosurgeon sometime in the next two weeks.

Kattar did not escape Saturday’s featherweight headliner unscathed as he is potentially out for six months, pending clearance from an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) doctor for a nasal bone fracture. In a worst case scenario, Kattar will be out of competition until July 15.

Two other UFC Vegas 46 fighters are also facing potential six-month suspensions: Rogerio Bontorin (left knee) and Charles Rosa (right knee).

UFC Vegas 46 was held at UFC APEX in Las Vegas and was overseen by the Nevada Athletic Commission.
