UFC Post-Fight Medical Suspensions in 2023

Precautionary medical suspensions and clearance requirements issued by state athletic commissions after a bout. Each entry links to the commission document it was taken from.

A post-fight medical suspension is routine. Commissions issue them to almost every fighter after almost every bout — a cut produces a short suspension, a knockout a mandatory rest period. Nothing here indicates a rule violation or an anti-doping matter.
This page reproduces publicly reported regulatory and medical-administrative records. Every entry names the body that issued it. Anti-doping testing entries are counts of publicly reported test sessions and are not pass/fail results — a test session is not a positive test. Records are reproduced as published and are not medical advice.
