UFC 175 Medical Suspensions: Champs Chris Weidman, Ronda Rousey Require X-Rays



UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman came away from UFC 175 with belt intact, but he did not escape unscathed.

The Nevada Athletic Commission on Monday released a full list of medical suspensions from the event, which took place July 5 at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.

Weidman requires the most extensive medical attention of the card’s 20 competitors, as the 30-year-old must have his jaw, right elbow, right ribs and right ankle x-rayed and cleared by an orthopedic doctor before he can compete again. Opponent Lyoto Machida received a lesser suspension, with no contest until Sept. 4 due to a facial laceration.

Women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey must receive an x-ray and clearance on her right hand, which required nine stitches after the bout.
