Mackenzie Dern and five others could be out up to six months due injuries sustained during Saturday’s card.

Six fighters face potentially lengthy layoffs as a result of injuries sustained in their UFC on ABC 2 bouts.

On Tuesday, MMA Junkie acquired a full list of the UFC on ABC 2 medical suspensions handed out by the Nevada Athletic Commission from MixedMartialArts.com, the Associate of Boxing Commission’s official recordkeeper.

Among those potentially suspended for 180 days is co-headliner [autotag]Arnold Allen[/autotag], who perhaps suffered a broken left hand in his victory over [autotag]Sodiq Yusuff[/autotag].

Fan favorite [autotag]Mackenzie Dern[/autotag] also could be out up to six months due to a potentially broken thumb suffered in her win against [autotag]Nina Nunes[/autotag].

[autotag]Julian Marquez[/autotag], who defeated [autotag]Sam Alvey[/autotag] by submission, will need his right hand cleared in order to avoid the mandatory 180 days off.

UFC on ABC 2 video: Heavyweight Jarjis Danho obliterates Yorgan De Castro with perfect KO punch

This was brutal.

[autotag]Jarjis Danho[/autotag] ensured himself a highlight reel out of his first UFC win on Saturday.

The 37-year-old heavyweight obliterated Yorgan De Castro on the preliminary card of UFC on ABC 2 with a first-round knockout.

The punch that finished De Castro (6-3 MMA, 1-3 UFC) couldn’t have been more perfectly timed or placed. After an even back-and-fourth, Danho (6-1-1 MMA, 1-1-1 UFC) caught De Castro with an overhand right to the temple that slept him instantly and sent him crashing to the canvas.

You can see the brutal finish below (via Twitter):

The bout marked Danho’s first fight since September 2016. He was out for almost five years and was still hunting for his first UFC win as he had picked up a draw and a defeat in his first two bouts with the UFC.
