UFC on FOX 27 medical suspensions: Three fighters get indefinite terms

Most fighters who received medical suspensions after UFC on FOX 27 got 30 days. A trio of fighters weren’t so lucky.

Women’s strawweight Justine Kish, lightweight Vinc Pinchel and Austin Arnett received indefinite suspensions from the North Carolina Boxing Authority, which regulated this past Saturday’s event at Spectrum Center in Charlotte, N.C. The main card aired live on FOX following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.

MMAjunkie today received a list of suspensions from the event after a public records request.

Kish (6-2 MMA, 2-2 UFC), who dropped a split call to Ji Yeon Kim (7-1-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC) on the FS1 prelims, needs medical clearance for a broken nose, her right knee and left shoulder. Her suspension can then be lifted.

Pichel (11-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC), who outpointed Joaquim Silva (10-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) on the same prelim card, needs an opthalmologist’s clearance for a potential injury to his right eye.
