Curtis
Blaydes is one of four athletes facing an indefinite layoff
following
UFC on ESPN 33.
Blaydes, who defeated Chris
Daukaus via second-round technical knockout in this past
Saturday’s main event at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, is
suspended indefinitely until he receives othropedic clearance on
his right foot. Daukaus, meanwhile, is suspended 30 days to recover
from a TKO defeat.
The Ohio Athletic Commission recently released a full list of
medical suspensions from the event to
MMAjunkie.com. While a vast majority of fighters on the card —
18 in total — didn’t receive a layoff of any kind, three others are
also facing indefinite terms pending doctor clearance: Marc
Diakiese (right hand, right foot), Viacheslav
Borshchev (right wrist, right foot) and Batgerel
Danaa (needs ophthalmologist clearance).
