Both athletes from the interim featherweight title bout at UFC 284
could be sidelined for a significant period of time.

According to medical suspensions released by the Combat Sports
Commission of Western Australia, Yair
Rodriguez and Josh Emmett
are facing potential 180-terms following their 145-pound clash in
the UFC 284 co-main event on Feb. 11. Those suspensions can be
reduced with physician clearance. Rodriguez defeated Emmett via
second-round submission to capture the interim featherweight
championship.

UFC 284 took place at the RAC Arena in Perth, Australia, and saw

Three other competitors from UFC 284 are facing potential six-month
