UFC 314 medical suspensions: Alexander Volkanovski and Paddy Pimblett avoid indefinite leave, Bryce Mitchell and Michael Chandler out for weeks

UFC 314 took place last weekend and more than delivered on its promise to thrill the MMA fanbase. The main card, especially, featured action from top to bottom. It saw Alexander Volkanovski and Diego Lopes going to war for five rounds for the then-vacant featherweight title.

Volkanovski survived two frightening moments in particular: a knockdown and a punch that dug Lopes' knuckle into his eye. In the end, he won a unanimous decision in a Fight of the Night winner and will be medically suspended for 45 days.

Meanwhile, his opponent, Lopes, has been medically suspended indefinitely, as he absorbed a tremendous amount of damage during the bout.

The UFC 314 co-headliner between Paddy Pimblett and Michael Chandler was more one-sided, with the Scouser TKO'ing 'Iron' within three rounds.

Pimblett took zero damage in the bout and will serve no suspension. Chandler, though, will be suspended for two months, 60 days.

In a return to the featherweight division, Yair Rodríguez faced Patrício 'Pitbull' Freire, beating him via unanimous decision in a competitive fight.

Despite winning and hurting 'Pitbull' during the bout, Rodríguez will serve a 30-day suspension, while Freire will serve no suspension.

In yet another featherweight bout, Jean Silva stunned fans in attendance by brutalizing and submitting a submission specialist in Bryce Mitchell. Since he took no damage besides a few low kicks, Silva will serve no suspension, while Mitchell will be suspended for 30 days.

What about other high-profile UFC 314 suspensions?

In the first UFC 314 main card fight, Dominick Reyes faced Nikita Krylov at light heavyweight, knocking him out within two minutes, so he will serve no suspension. Krylov, though, will be suspended for 60 days.
