UFC on ESPN 13 medical suspensions: Ryan Benoit, three others facing lengthy time off

Four fighters face potential 180-day medical suspensions as a result of injuries sustained in their UFC on ESPN 13 fights Wednesday.

Friday, MMA Junkie obtained the full list from MixedMartialArts.com, the ABC’s official recordkeeper.

According to the list, UFC on ESPN 13 main card fighters Ryan Benoit and Taila Santos, as well as prelim competitors Modestas Bukauskas and Diana Belbita, received 180-day suspensions. Fighters can return sooner than the duration of their suspension if cleared by a doctor.

Headliners Calvin Kattar and Dan Ige, however, walked away relatively unscathed, despite their 25-minute back-and-forth battle. Kattar (22-4 MMA, 6-2 UFC) was handed a 30-day suspension for a “hard bout,” while Ige (14-3 MMA, 6-2 UFC) received 45 days on the shelf for bilateral brow lacerations.
