UFC 252 medical suspensions: Sean O’Malley, Stipe Miocic and Daniel Cormier get lengthy sits

The medical suspensions for last Saturday’s UFC 252 card are in, and as expected from a card so jam-packed with violence, some fighters will be out for awhile.

Stipe Miocic and Daniel Cormier, who battled for five hard rounds in the UFC 252 main event, will both be out until September 30 at minimum due to potential eye damage sustained in their fight. Cormier could be out much longer if he’s not cleared by an ophthalmologist.

Sean O’Malley, who was defeated by Marlon Vera in a significant upset in the UFC 252 co-main event, has also been suspended to September 30 at minimum, but could be out until December if an orthopedist doesn’t clear his ankle.
