UFC 316 medical suspensions: Julianna Peña out indefinitely until cleared for potential elbow, shoulder injuries
Damon Martin is a veteran journalist and insider covering combat sports since 2003.
Julianna Peña needs clearance on a couple of potential injuries before competing again following her submission loss to Kayla Harrison in the UFC 316 co-main event this past Saturday night.
That’s according to the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board after the commission issued the medical suspensions related to the card in Newark with Peña’s name headlining the list of fighters looking at mandated layoffs.
Peña’s night ended in the second round after Harrison applied a nasty kimura on the ground that saw the now former champion tap out. As a result, the commission is suspending Peña indefinitely until she gets clearance from an orthopedist on both her left elbow and left shoulder before she can compete again.
The loss cost Peña the women’s bantamweight title and dropped her to 3-3 in her past six fights overall.
Also on the main card, Kevin Gastelum was handed a mandatory 30 day suspension with no contact after his decision loss to Joe Pyfer but he was also issued an indefinite suspension pending clearance from a dentist for a loose right maxillary incisor.
Mario Bautista is also required to sit for the next 30 days after he received a mandatory suspension with no contact due to facial lacerations suffered in his victory over former Bellator champion Patchy Mix, who was making his octagon debut.
