UFC Fight Night 90 Medical Suspensions: Jouban’s broken hand keeps him out up to six months

The Nevada Athletic Commission handed out medical suspensions to several fighters from over the weekend, including most on Thursday’s UFC Fight Night 90 card. Alan Jouban’s post-fight belief that he had broken his hand was correct, and he’ll be out up to six months pending early clearance.
