Recent flyweight title challenger John Moraga is among a list of fighters who could be out as long as long as six months following their fights at this past Saturday’s UFC on FOX 8 event. The Washington State Department of Licensing, which oversaw Saturday’s event, today released the event’s medical suspensions to MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). UFC on FOX 8 took place July 27 at KeyArena in Seattle. The night’s main card aired on FOX following prelims on FX and Facebook. Moraga (12-2 MMA, 2-1 UFC) was submitted in the fifth round by champion Demetrious Johnson (18-2-1 MMA, 6-1-1 UFC), who defended his title for the second time. Moraga received a suspension of 180 days unless he is cleared by a doctor prior to that. Regardless, he will be shelved for 30 days. All 24 fighters on the card received at minimum Washington’s standard seven-day suspension, including Johnson and co-main event fighters Rory MacDonald (15-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) and Jake Ellenberger (29-7 MMA, 8-3 UFC)
