The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation handed out medical suspensions to a number of competitors on Saturday's UFC 192 event from Houston.
Yair Rodriguez and Shawn Jordan could be out the longest if not cleared; Rodriguez was given an indefinite term pending clearance on what appeared to be a broken foot suffered in his win over Daniel Hooker, while Jordan came out of his loss to Ruslan Magomedov banged up as well. Title challenger Alexander Gustafsson, meanwhile, is out up to six months pending clearance after a grueling and close fight with Daniel Cormier in the night's main event.
