UFC on ESPN 15 injuries and medical suspensions were submitted to MixedMartialArts.com earlier this week for those athletes competing at the “Munhoz vs. Edgar” event this past weekend (Sat., Aug. 22, 2020) from inside UFC APEX in Las Vegas.

Not surprisingly, a fair share of combatants were handed lengthy timeouts, including bantamweight headliners Pedro Munhoz and Frankie Edgar. Both “The Young Punisher” and “The Answer” suffered multiple facial lacerations.
