[autotag]Anderson Silva[/autotag] and [autotag]Uriah Hall[/autotag] are among five fighters that could be facing a lengthy suspension after damage sustained at UFC on ESPN+ 39.

Hall stopped Silva in the fourth round in the night’s headline bout in what was announced as Silva’s final UFC fight. Though Hall was victorious, he will require x-rays in both hands and his right foot, and is required to refrain from any contact until Dec. 1.
