Fans hoping to see Conor McGregor rebound at UFC 200 can breathe a little sigh of relief.
The medical suspensions from fighters competing at UFC 196 were released late on Monday and ‘The Notorious’ has avoided any competition or contact ban from the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
Despite losing in Saturday night’s main event, McGregor has actually escaped any medical suspensions.
Meanwhile Nate Diaz, who won via second round rear naked choke, has been suspended until late April.
Ironically, Diaz’s suspension will be served until 20 April which has become a day synonymous with the cannabis culture in the United States (both Diaz brothers are known marijuana users).
Here is the full list of medical suspensions as obtained by SportsJOE on Monday.
Nate Diaz: Suspended until 20 April with no contact until 5 April due to laceration over right eye.
Ilir Latifi: Suspended until 5 September unless cleared by doctor or X-Ray on his left second toe.
