Sean
O’Malley was one of the big winners at UFC
269, but it could be a while before he makes his return to the
Octagon.
O’Malley, who defeat Raulian
Paiva via first-round technical knockout, was suspended six
months by the Nevada State Athletic Commission pending an X-ray and
MRI of his right hand and thumb. If he receives doctor clearance,
he can fight before June 10. At a minimum, the bantamweight star is
suspended until Jan. 11 with no contact until Jan. 2.
A full list of medical suspensions from the event was released to
mixedmartialarts.com. UFC 269 took place at the T-Mobile Arena
in Las Vegas on Saturday and saw Charles
Oliveira successfully defend his lightweight belt with a
third-round tapout of Dustin
Poirier in the evening’s main event. Both Oliveira and Poirier
are suspended until Jan. 11 with no contact until Jan. 2.
Three other fighters from UFC 269 are facing potential six-month
terms pending doctor clearance: Pedro
Munhoz (right foot), Miranda
Maverick (left foot) and Tony Kelley
(left shoulder).
