UFC on ESPN 24 medical suspensions: Three fighters potentially out 180 days

Three of the 18 fighters who competed at UFC on ESPN 24 on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas could be facing six month suspensions.

Carlston Harris, Mike Trizano, Maurice Greene have all been hit with 180-day suspensions unless they are cleared by doctors regarding their respective medical issues. Both Harris and Trizano picked up victories, while Greene suffered a decision loss.

The headliner bout between strawweight contenders Marina Rodriguez and Michelle Waterson, who competed at 125 pounds instead of 115, was a grueling back-and-forth contest, but only had both fighters suspended for a month with no contact for 21 days.
