The UFC’s second Fight Night event of 2022 produced 20 medical suspensions, nearly half of which may keep fighters on the sidelines for an extended period of time.
Punahele Soriano, Sam Alvey, Michael Trizano, Alexis Davis, Julija Stoliarenko, Danilo Marques, Philip Rowe, and Denys Bondar were all given conditional six-month suspensions following their fights at UFC Vegas 47. In each instance, a physician can clear them to return to action sooner, however, none are eligible to compete again until March.
Medical suspensions were released Wednesday and first acquired by mixedmartialarts.com.
Both main event competitors managed to fare much better, with Jack Hermansson only sidelined for two months, while Sean Strickland is eligible to return in just a few weeks.
