Three fighters are facing 180-day suspensions as a result of UFC on ESPN 12 – but neither of the card’s headliners is among them. On Tuesday, MMA Junkie acquired a full list of UFC on ESPN 12 medical suspensions from the Nevada Athletic Commission. Fighters can return sooner than the duration of their suspensions if cleared by a doctor. Despite a back-and-forth battle for 25 minutes, Dustin Poirier and Dan Hooker walked away relatively unscathed. Both men received a 60-day suspension due to a “tough fight.” The three fighters facing the longest suspensions are Gian Villante , Brendan Allen , and Khama Worthy . All three combatants were handed potential six-month terms due to various injuries.
