Strickland is just one of 11 fighters facing an indefinite
layoff following UFC
328.
The New Jersey State Athletic Control Board recently released a
full list of medical suspensions from this past Saturday’s event,
which took place at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.
Strickland defeated Khamzat
Chimaev via split decision to claim the middleweight title in
UFC 328 headliner.
Strickland, who recently revealed a list of shoulder-related
injuries, is suspended indefinitely pending orthopedist clearance
of his left hand. At a minimum he is suspended 45 days with 30 days
of no contact. Chimaev emerged relatively healthy, as he received a
45 day term with 30 days of no contact.
Meanwhile, co-main event combatants Joshua Van
and Tatsuro
Taira both received indefinite suspensions following their
flyweight title bout, which Van won via fifth-round TKO. Van
requires clearance of his left hand before he can return to action,
while Taira needs a CT scan. Taira also has a mandatory 90-day
suspension with 60 days of no contact due to a knockout loss.
