UFC medical suspensions, injuries for TUF 23 Finale and UFC Fight Night 90

Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) had a pretty busy week.

Not long after it handed down its list of injuries and medical suspensions for the cast of UFC 200 (see it), it turned its attention to the other two cards that recently transpired in Las Vegas. Specifically, The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 23 Finale on July 7, followed by UFC Fight Night 90 on July 8, both taking place inside MGM Grand.

Grim reports for Claudia Gadelha and Alan Jouban.

Just a quick reminder: Fighters often return to action much quicker once doctors give them the green light. The lengthy suspensions are just a precaution in most cases. In addition, not all injuries are recorded during the post-fight examination and often times surface in follow-up tests.
