UFC on ESPN 23 Medical Suspensions: Reyes Facing 6 Months Due to Facial Fractures

Not only did Dominick
Reyes
lose his third consecutive fight at
UFC on ESPN 23
, but he could be out for a lengthy period of
time as well.

Reyes suffered a second-round knockout loss to Jiri
Prochazka
in Saturday’s headliner at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
As a result of that defeat, the former title challenger must
receive doctor clearance for nasal and orbital fractures or he will
be sidelined for six months. At a minimum, he is suspended until
July 1 with no contact until June 16. Despite absorbing some solid
shots over the course of the bout, Prochazka emerged with a clean
bill of health following his spinning elbow KO victory.

The Nevada State Athletic Commission released a list of medical
suspensions to

Three other fighters from UFC on ESPN 23 are also facing potential
six-month terms pending doctor clearance: Ion
Cutelaba
(nose), Luana
Pinheiro
(finger) and Andreas
Michailidis
(left hand).
