The Washington State Department of Licensing, the athletic commission that regulated last Saturday's UFC On FOX 8, released this Tuesday (30) the list of medical suspensions for the event. Seven of the athletes who played in the card they can stay away for up to six months.
All 24 UFC On FOX 8 participants caught at least seven days of hooking. There were cases, for example, of Demetrious Johnson, Rory McDonald e Jake ellenberger, who were involved in the two most important fights of the night.
The fourth protagonist of the event, flyweight challenger John Moraga, is one of those who could be suspended for up to 180 days after his defeat to Johnson. Moraga will have to present a medical certificate to avoid the six-month delay. Still, he will need to serve a minimum period of 30 days before returning to normal activities.
The Brazilian Jessica Andrade, defeated by technical knockout by Liz Carmouche, will also have to present a medical certificate. She was previously suspended for 45 days, but the period could be reduced to 30, depending on the approval of the private doctor.
