The Nevada Athletic Commission handed out suspensions to 12 fighters from Saturday's UFC 170 event, releasing the list of names Monday night.
Four fighters could be out up to six months if they're not cleared by doctors earlier, as Rory MacDonald, Stephen Thompson, Raphael Assuncao, and Cody Gibson all have ailments that must be checked out before they're given the go ahead.
The full list of suspensions was emailed to MMATorch on Monday, and can be seen below:
Out up to 180 days
* Rory MacDonald (right ankle) - suspended minimum 30 days, no contact for 21 days
* Robert Whittaker (left forearm) - suspended minimum 30 days, no contact for 21 days
* Raphael Assuncao (left ribs) - suspended minimum 30 days, no contact for 21 days
* Cody Gibson (right hand)
