UFC 263 medical suspensions: Jamahal Hill, Terrance McKinney and Brandon Moreno face 180-day terms

Jamahal Hill, Terrance McKinney and newly crowned flyweight champion Brandon Moreno are potentially looking at six months on the sidelines after UFC 263.

Hill had his elbow dislocated when he suffered a first-round TKO loss to Paul Craig in the main card opener. Hill refused to tap to a deep armbar and Craig kept cranking on the submission, transitioning to a triangle choke until referee Al Guinee noticed that Hill’s arm was flopping about and stopped the fight.

On Wednesday, MMA Junkie acquired a full list of the UFC Fight Night 189 medical suspensions handed out by the Nevada Athletic Commission from MixedMartialArts.com, the Association of Boxing Commission’s official record keeper.

Also joining Hill on the sidelines is newcomer McKinney, who scored the fastest knockout in UFC lightweight history when he finished Matt Frevola in just seven seconds. But an elated McKinney stuck his landing from the top of the octagon, injuring his knee in the process. He will require an MRI of his right knee before getting cleared.

Rounding off the 180-day suspension list is Moreno, who picked up a dominant third-round submission finish of Deiveson Figueiredo to win the flyweight title. Moreno needs his right foot checked before getting cleared by a doctor.

The full list of UFC 263 medical suspensions includes:
