The hand injury Umar
Nurmagomedov apparently suffered early on in the UFC 311
co-main event could sideline him for a significant period of
time.
According to medical suspensions recently released by the
California State Athletic Commission, Nurmagomedov is facing a
180-day suspension unless he receives physician clearance for a
potential fracture to his left hand or index finger. Nurmagomedov
lost a unanimous decision to Merab
Dvalishvili in a bantamweight title bout on Saturday night at
the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. Dvalishvili, like everyone on the
card, received a seven-day mandatory term for rest.
