Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) handed out a dozen six-month medical suspensions in the aftermath of the UFC Austin event last weekend at Moody Center, with Arman Tsarukyan, Beneil Dariush, and Bobby Green among those who will need additional medical clearance before returning to action.

Tsarukyan stopped Dariush in the UFC Austin main event to insert himself into the 155-pound title picture. Green was put away by lightweight “Tarantula” Jalin Turner in the co-headliner, a short-notice fight that was cobbled together after veteran “Hangman” Dan Hooker withdrew from the ESPN+ fight card with a broken arm.

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.
