UFC on ESPN 10 medical suspensions: Calvillo, Vettori require MRIs

By Tom Taylor - June 16, 2020

The medical suspensions for last Saturday’s UFC on ESPN 10 card are in, and main event winner Cynthia Calvillo could be out for awhile.

Calvillo defeated No. 1-ranked UFC flyweight contender Jessica Eye by unanimous decision in the UFC on ESPN 10 headliner. Despite the decisive nature of her win, she must have a shoulder MRI and consult a sports medicine doctor if she wants to compete again before December 11.

The same goes for Marvin Vettori, who choked out Karl Roberson in the UFC on ESPN 10 co-main event. He must undergo a right knee MRI and consult a sports medicine doctor in order to be cleared before December 11.

While these sound like lengthy suspensions for the two biggest winners on the UFC on ESPN 10 card, it’s worth noting that fighters are generally cleared to compete well before their suspensions end.
