Note to Readers: While the suspensions might seem extensive, fighters can often return to the ring much sooner, provided they get a medical clearance. These suspensions primarily serve as safety measures. Furthermore, not every injury is immediately evident post-fight. Some injuries may only become apparent after more detailed examinations, potentially leading to longer recovery periods.
