The medical suspensions list following UFC 260 has been released two days after the event.
Five fighters are looking at a potential suspension of six months. Both Stipe Miocic and the new heavyweight champ Francis Ngannou are looking at relatively short suspensions, with Ngannou out for 30 days with no contact and Miocic suspended for 60 days with no contact for 45 days.
Miocic has stated in his post-fight statement that he looks forward to some family time as they prepare to welcome a new addition, so his suspension length should fall right in line with his plans. The former champ likely will not be looking to fight again until long after the suspension has elapsed. Below, you can find the full suspensions list following the UFC 260 event (via MixedMartialArts.com).
