The Ultimate Fighting Championship continued a busy June with UFC on ESPN 11 over the weekend at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada. Curtis Blaydes overwhelmed Alexander Volkov in the main event to establish himself as one of the top heavyweight contenders.
Following the event, the Nevada State Athletic Commission released the full list of medical suspensions from the night with co-main event Josh Emmett and four others receiving potential six-month layoffs.
Emmett, who was part of a Fight of the Year candidate with Shane Burgos, will miss 180 days until he has his left cleared by an orthopedic sports medicine doctor. The other lengthy layoffs went to Roosevelt Roberts, Tecia Torres, Brianna van Buren, and Cortney Case.
