UFC Fight Night 36 medical suspensions: All 24 fighters receive some time off

21 fighters receive either 14 or 30 days off, while Sato, Marcello and Machida face longer medical suspensions

Jason Silva-USA TODAY Sports

24 fighters competed at Saturday's UFC Fight Night 36, and all 24 of those fighters were handed some type of medical suspension. Most of the fighters from the February 15 Brazil event will be out of action for 14 or 30 days, but three fighters were handed lengthier suspensions by the Comissao Atletica Brasileira de MMA (CABMMA).

Cristiano Marcello and Takenori Sato will both be out of action for 45 days following their losses. Main event winner Lyoto Machida was handed a six-month suspension, but that will most likely be significantly shortened.

Machida feared that he had sustained a broken left foot during his five round fight with Gegard Mousasi, but according to MMAFighting.com, x-rays have confirmed that the foot is not broken.
