UFC 125 Medical Suspensions: Brandon Vera Suffers Nasal Fracture
Brandon Vera, Frankie Edgar, Marcus Davis and Phil Baroni were issued medical suspensions related to nasal fractures suffered from their respective fights Saturday at UFC 125 in Las Vegas.
Although Vera had the most visible nose damage, all four were received the same medical suspension from the Nevada athletic commission. The fighters must have their nasal fracture cleared by a doctor or they will not be allowed to fight until July 1. They must serve a minimum suspension until March 3 and are not allowed contact until Feb. 16.
Edgar was the only one of the four who did not lose at UFC 125. His opponent Gray Maynard emerged out of the championship draw with only facial lacerations and will be suspended until Feb. 1 with no contact until Jan. 23.
