The list of suspensions for medical reasons at UFC Vegas 24 is published, and until the fall three fighters from the main card can be absent.
Luis Pena (left arm), Chase Sherman (knee / foot / tibia) and Juan Espino (right elbow) may be out until October unless they are approved by a doctor. Despite the war waged by the main rivals of the evening, Robert Whittaker and Kelvin Gastelum, both rivals face a one-month suspension, so Whittaker could quickly find a way against middleweight champion Israel Adesanya, if offered it.
One person injured in connection with this card, which you will not find in the list below , is a certain Drakkar Klose, who suffered a sprain of the cervical spine as a result of a very strong push from Jeremy Stephens during the face-off of UFC Vegas 24. There is still no clear timetable for when Klose will be able to return to action.
