UFC Fight Night 182 medical suspensions: Paul Felder, four more face potential 180-day terms
Paul Felder is among four UFC Fight Night 182 combatants facing six-month suspensions from injuries sustained during Saturday’s event at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
Felder, who took the main event fight vs. Rafael dos Anjos on days’ notice, suffered an elbow injury that could knock him out of MMA competition until May.
On Tuesday, MMA Junkie obtained the full list of suspensions from MixedMartialArts.com, the Association of Boxing Commissions’ official record keeper.
Joining Felder at the top of the suspension-length list is Team Alpha Male’s Cory McKenna, who won a unanimous decision over fellow up-and-comer Kay Hansen on the main card. McKenna faces a six-month suspension due to a left ankle sprain.
Welterweight Alex Morono and heavyweight Roque Martinez, who competed on the prelims, also are facing 180-day terms for knee injuries.
