The medical suspensions for last Saturday’s UFC on ESPN+ 30 card held at the Yas Islands in Abu Dhabi are in, and UFC bantamweight Joseph Benavidez has been sidelined due to forehead laceration and will be out for 45-days.

Benavidez met Deiveson Figueiredo in the UFC on ESPN+ 30 main card, and lost by way of submission in the first round after being knocked down multiple times in what was a short but violent fight. Luana Carolina, who was forced to submit by Ariane Lipski, could be out for as much as 180 days.
