UFC on ESPN 8 medical suspensions: Two winners face six-month suspensions

Alistair Overeem and Walt Harris will be forced to take a little recovery time after each taking some damage in the UFC on ESPN 8 main event.

Both men sustained knockdowns during the heavyweight headliner, but ultimately it was Overeem (46-18 MMA, 11-7 UFC) who emerged victorious with a second-round TKO over Harris (13-8 MMA, 6-7 UFC).

UFC on ESPN 8 took place Saturday at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Fla. The card aired on ESPN.

MMA Junkie obtained a list of the UFC on ESPN 8 athletes’ medical suspensions from the Florida Boxing Commission on Monday.

More time could be tacked on to the suspension, or they could be reduced, pending further health testing on multiple athletes.
