Bisping hit with 60-day medical suspension for KO loss to Gastelum
Michael Bisping can't be put down for long.
The former middleweight champion has been hit with a 60-day medical suspension after suffering a first-round KO at Kelvin Gastelum's hands in Shanghai at UFC Fight Night 122 this past Saturday, according to records kept on mixedmartialarts.com.
Bisping fought Gastelum just three weeks after being submitted by Georges St-Pierre at UFC 217, but was cleared of his resulting 30-day medical suspension to fill in for a flagged Anderson Silva on just two weeks' notice.
Zak Ottow, Yadong Song, Shamil Abdurakhimov, and Gina Mazany could all be sidelined for up to six months with injuries sustained in their respective fights on last week's bill, but can be cleared to return to action sooner by a physician.
