Half of the UFC on ESPN 28 card, including the night’s headliners, are looking at 180-day medical suspensions after their fights.

Sean Strickland, who scored a lopsided unanimous decision over Uriah Hall in the main event, needs an X-ray on his left thigh and knee, as well as a dental evaluation of his lower prosthetic tooth before getting cleared to compete again.

On Tuesday, MMA Junkie acquired a full list of the UFC on ESPN 28 medical suspensions handed out by the Nevada Athletic Commission from MixedMartialArts.com, the Association of Boxing Commission’s official record keeper.

Hall, who saw his four-fight winning streak snapped, will need clearance for his right orbital floor fracture or he could be looking at significant time on the shelf.
