UFC Fight Night 184 medical suspensions: Overeem among seven facing six-month layoffs

Alistair Overeem is among seven fighters who could be facing a lengthy time off after UFC Fight Night 184.

Overeem, who suffered a fractured nose in his second-round TKO loss to Alexander Volkov in the main event, will need doctor clearance or he could be facing up to six months on the sidelines.

Joining Overeem with potential 180-day terms is Alexandre Pantoja, who defeated newcomer Manel Kape via unanimous decision. Pantoja must have X-rays on both hands cleared. Kape is also dealing with a hand injury of his own, and requires his right thumb to be cleared by a doctor.
