UFC 263 can officially be put in the books on both a competitive, and medical level. As the Arizona Boxing & Mixed Martial Arts Commission has done all their final medical checks, handed down suspensions, and passed on all the information exclusively to MixedMartialArts.com.
The event was headlined by a twin bill of championship rematches. In the first, Ultimate Fighter alum Brandon Moreno became the first Mexican-born competitor to win an Ultimate Fighting Championship title when he submitted Deiveson Figueiredo with a rear-naked choke in round three. While in the headliner, middleweight champion Israel Adesanya defended his thrown once again with ease in a unanimous decision victory over hated rival Marvin Vettori.
After being reviewed by the commission’s medical team, quite a few fighters face short-term bans from competition. However, three fighters–including the promotion’s new flyweight champion–could be out of action for up to six months. Get all the low down on who could be on the sidelines for a while in the full list of UFC 263 medical suspensions below.
