UFC 195 Medical Suspensions: Dustin Poirier, Kyle Noke Get Potential 6-Month Sits
Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight Dustin Poirier and middleweight Kyle Noke could be sidelined for six months after both men suffered broken noses at last Saturday’s UFC 195.
The Nevada Athletic Commission on Monday released its list of medical suspensions from the event, which took place at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Early winner Sheldon Westcott received the only other lengthy suspension from the bill, as the Canadian welterweight must have his right hand and left knee cleared or else stay out of action until July.
Surprisingly, UFC welterweight champ Robbie
Lawler and challenger Carlos
Condit seem to have emerged from their five-round battle
relatively unscathed. Both men received two-month suspensions with
an order for no contact in training until Feb. 17.
