UFC on ESPN+ 23 medical suspensions: Frankie Edgar could face six-month term after TKO

Six fighters are looking at potential six-month medical suspensions after UFC on ESPN+ 23, including former champion Frankie Edgar, who lost in the main event.

Edgar’s (23-8-1 MMA, 17-8-1 UFC) first-round TKO defeat to Chan Sung Jung (16-5 MMA, 6-2 UFC) in this past weekend’s featherweight headliner led to an orbital injury that resulted in a 180-day suspension for “The Answer,” unless he receives clearance from a specialist beforehand.

MMA Junkie today obtained the full medical suspension report from UFC on ESPN+ 23 (via MixedMartialArts.com), which went down at Sajik Arena in Busan, South Korea.
