Arnold
Allen and Mackenzie
Dern are among six athletes from
UFC on ABC 2 who are facing six months on the sidelines
following their bouts at Saturday’s event.
The Nevada Athletic Commission released a full list of medical
suspensions from the card to
mixedmartialarts.com. UFC on ABC 2 took place at the UFC Apex
and saw Marvin
Vettori take a unanimous decision over Kevin
Holland in the evening’s middleweight headliner. Both Vettori
and Holland are suspended until May 2 with no contact until April
25.
Allen, who took a three-round verdict against Sodiq
Yusuff in the co-main event, will be suspended six months
unless he gets doctor clearance on a left-hand X-ray. At a minimum
the British featherweight is suspended until May 11 with no contact
until May 2.
Dern did not exit her first-round submission victory against
Nina
Nunes unscathed, either. The Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt
needs a right thumb X-ray and doctor clearance or she will be out
until Oct. 8.
Four other fighters from UFC on ABC 2 are facing potential
six-month terms: Julian
Marquez (right hand), Jim Miller
(left foot), John
Makdessi (right foot) and Ignacio
Bahamondes (nose, left hand).
