Carlos
Ulberg isn’t the only fighter who could be on the shelf for an
extended period following UFC
327.
Ulberg was one of six fighters who received an indefinite
suspension following the April 11 event at the Kaseya Center in
Miami. The Florida Athletic Commission recently released a full
list of medical suspensions from UFC 327. The exact nature of each
suspension was not revealed.
Ulberg recently underwent surgery after suffering a torn ACL early
in his light heavyweight championship fight against Jiri
Prochazka. Despite that injury, “Black Jag” was able to finish
his opponent with a left hook and follow-up punches 3:45 into the
opening stanza. Prochazka also received an indefinite suspension
following the bout. Both Ulberg and Prochazka must received medical
clearance before returning to active competition.
Four other fighters from UFC 327 also received indefinite terms:
Azamat
Murzakanov, Curtis
Blaydes, Dominick
Reyes and Johnny
Walker. Blaydes recently revealed that he suffered a broken
nose and fractured orbital during his heavyweight clash against
Josh
Hokit.
