UFC 252 medical suspensions: Stipe Miocic and Sean O'Malley handed lengthy sits

The medical suspensions for last Saturday’s UFC 252 card have been announced and there are quite a few fighters who won't be seen inside the Octagon anytime soon following the violent and thoroughly entertaining card. (h/t BJPenn.com)

Headliners Stipe Miocic and Daniel Cormier, who threw down in a massive trilogy fight to determine the greatest heavyweight of all time, have both been sidelined until September 30 due to potential eye damage sustained during the fight. Daniel Cormier apparently tore the cornea of his left eye and maybe out for a much longer time unless he’s been cleared by an ophthalmologist.

Rising bantamweight contender Sean O’Malley, whose undefeated streak was snapped by Marlon Vera in the UFC 252 co-main event, has also been asked to sit out until September 30 at least.
