Diego Lopes and Michael Chandler are among the fighters handed a medical suspension stemming from the UFC 314 fight card in Miami this past weekend.
On Thursday, MMA Fighting obtained the medical suspensions from the Florida Athletic Commission with 17 total fighters receiving mandatory layoffs, including a few with indefinite suspensions, which usually means those athletes have to get clearance from a doctor before competing again.
At the top of that list is UFC 314 main event fighter Diego Lopes, who was handed an indefinite suspension following his five-round war with Alexander Volknanovski.
Due to medical disclosure laws in the state of Florida, details surrounding Lopes’ suspension are not made public but typically an indefinite suspension means there’s enough information about a possible injury that the commission requires a physician to clear the fighter to compete again.
Volkanovski received a 45-day layoff, which is mandatory, although it’s highly unlikely he’d be competing again so soon anyways.
In the co-main event, Michael Chandler was handed a 60-day suspension after he took a lot of damage in his fight against Paddy Pimblett before ultimately falling by third-round stoppage. Chandler suffered a nasty cut on his cheek from a flying knee thrown by Pimblett during the fight and now he’ll sit for the next 60 days at minimum to recover.
There were four more fighters who received indefinite suspensions on the card, including strawweight contender Virna Jandiroba, Chase Hooper, Marco Tulio, and Tresean Gore.
Here are the full medical suspensions from UFC 314:
Alexander Volkanovski: 45 days
Diego Lopes: Indefinite
Michael Chandler: 60 days
Yair Rodriguez: 30 days
Bryce Mitchell: 30 days
Nikita Krylov: 60 days
