6 fighters facing 180-day medical suspensions for UFC Oklahoma City

Michael Chiesa and five other fighters could be shelved with six-month medical suspensions after competing at UFC Fight Night 112 in Oklahoma City this past Sunday, according to a list MMAjunkie obtained from the Oklahoma State Athletic Commission on Monday.

The lightweight contender sustained a lacerated scalp and may have suffered a left-shoulder injury in his controversial first-round submission loss to Kevin Lee in the card's main event. If cleared by a physician, he'll only be relegated to the couch for a month.

Strawweight Felice Herrig and middleweight Tim Boetsch are facing the same layoff after scoring emphatic wins over Justine Kish and Johny Hendricks, respectively. Herrig may have injured her left wrist, "The Barbarian" his right foot and shin - presumably from the kick he uncorked on Hendrick's head for the stoppage.

Also staring at six-month suspensions for various injuries are Devin Powell, Johnny Case, and Vitor Miranda, each of whom were handed the short end of the scorecards at Sunday's event. They can return to action far earlier with a physician's blessing.
