Elsewhere, former NFL Pro Bowler Greg Hardy
is also looking at a six-month term following a 67-second knockout
loss to Tai Tuivasa

of commission until Jan. 7.
Four other fighters from UFC 264 are also facing six-month suspensions pending doctor clearance: Yana Kunitskaya (nose), Sean O'Malley (hands, left tibia, right foot), Ryan Hall (left hand) and Omari Akhmedov (nose).
