UFC Vegas 12 injuries and medical suspensions were submitted to MixedMartialArts.com earlier this week for those athletes competing at the “Hall vs. Silva” event this past weekend (Sat., Oct. 31, 2020) from inside UFC APEX in Las Vegas.

Not surprisingly, a fair share of combatants were handed mandatory timeouts, including middleweight headliners Uriah Hall and Anderson Silva. Both “Prime Time” and “The Spider” will be sat for six months unless cleared by a physician.

Complete UFC Vegas 12 medical suspensions (via MMA Junkie) below:

Uriah Hall: Suspended 180 days with 30 days no contact or until both hands and right foot is cleared by an orthopedic doctor.
Anderson Silva: Suspended 180 days or until broken nose is cleared by a doctor. Also suspended 60 days with no contact for 45 days days due to left upper eyelid laceration.
Bryce Mitchell: Suspended 180 days or until left hand is cleared by an orthopedic doctor. Also suspended 45 days with no contact for 30 days due to right eyebrow laceration.
Maurice Greene: Suspended 45 days or until he receives MRI for cervical/spine as outpatient and clearance from neurosurgeon, ortho spine specialist or physical medicine and rehabilitation doctor. No contact for 30 days due to left eyebrow laceration.
Charles Ontiveros: Suspended 30 days and 21 days with no contact.

Justin Ledet: Suspended 45 days and 30 days with no contact.
Kevin Natividad: Suspended 60 days and 45 days with no contact.

Silva is not expected to return to UFC.

Just a quick reminder: Fighters often return to action much quicker once doctors give them the green light. The lengthy suspensions are just a precaution in most cases. In addition, not all injuries are recorded during the post-fight examination and often times surface in follow-up tests.
