UFC on ESPN+ 36 medical suspensions: Tyron Woodley, Sarah Alpar, two others face 180-day terms

Three main card fighters and one prelim fighter are facing lengthy suspensions.

Former UFC welterweight champion [autotag]Tyron Woodley[/autotag] is among four fighters facing potential 180-day medical suspensions as a result of damage sustained at UFC on ESPN+ 36 on Saturday.

Woodley suffered a rib injury in the fifth round of his main event fight against [autotag]Colby Covington[/autotag], which resulted in a TKO. Monday, Woodley revealed his ribs were broken earlier in the fight and shifted on a fifth-round guillotine choke submission attempt, which led to the finish.

On Tuesday, MMA Junkie obtained the full list of suspensions from MixedMartialArts.com, the Association of Boxing Commissions’ official record keeper.

Joining Woodley on the list of UFC on ESPN+ 36 fighters facing potential six-month suspensions is co-headliner [autotag]Niko Price[/autotag], who fought to a draw with [autotag]Donald Cerrone[/autotag]. Price may have suffered a serious injury to his right hand, according to the medical records.

[autotag]Randa Markos[/autotag], who was submitted by [autotag]Mackenzie Dern[/autotag] via armbar in the first round of their main card fight, injured her elbow and will need clearance to compete before her 180-day term is up.

The finish garnered attention from many reporters and viewers alike, including UFC president Dana White. Midway through Round 3, referee Chris Tognoni stopped the fight for a legal knee.

UFC on ESPN+ 36 video: Damon Jackson upsets Mirsad Bektic on 3 days’ notice

Damon Jackson’s return to the UFC on short notice led to the biggest moment of his career against Mirsad Bektic at UFC on ESPN+ 36.

[autotag]Damon Jackson[/autotag]’s return to the UFC on short notice led to the biggest moment of his career as he upset [autotag]Mirsad Bektic[/autotag] on Saturday at UFC on ESPN+ 36.

After fizzling out of the UFC following a winless three-fight stint from 2014-2016, Jackson (18-3-1 MMA, 1-1-1 UFC) got his opportunity back on the big stage years later as a replacement opponent for highly touted featherweight Bektic (13-4 MMA, 6-4 UFC).

Bektic came in as the second-biggest betting favorite on the card, and for the first two rounds the odds made sense. He jumped on multiple submission attempts, but Bektic was able to cruise through them and keep positional and the striking control.

The tide turned in the third, though, when Jackson found an opportunity for a mounted guillotine choke that forced the tap at the 1:21 mark of the final frame.

Watch the video of Jackson’s sensational win below (via Twitter):

Jackson, who is one of the founding member of the Dallas-based Fortis MMA team, was thrilled with his victory after the fact. It took him 10 fights and claiming and LFA belt between UFC stints, but it was well worth it for his huge first moment of triumph inside the octagon.

With Eduardo Garagorri out, Damon Jackson steps in to face Mirsad Bektic at UFC on ESPN+ 36

Damon Jackson has gotten the call back to the UFC and will step in on short notice to face Mirsad Bektic at UFC on ESPN+ 36.

[autotag]Damon Jackson[/autotag] will get a second shot in the UFC.

[autotag]Eduardo Garagorri[/autotag] has been forced out of UFC on ESPN+ 36 due to a positive COVID-19 test and Jackson (17-3-1 MMA, 0-1-1 UFC) will step in on short notice to face [autotag]Mirsad Bektic[/autotag] (13-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) on Saturday.

MMA Junkie confirmed the booking after an initial report from Bloody Canvas.

Jackson, a UFC, Bellator, LFA and PFL veteran, has fought across all major MMA organizations. Since parting ways with the UFC in 2016, Jackson has won eight of his past 10 fights with all but one of his wins coming by finish.

Bektic has struggled of late, dropping two straight for the first time in his career. After picking up wins over Godofredo Pepey and Ricardo Lamas, Bektic has lost back-to-back to Josh Emmett and, most recently, Dan Ige at UFC 247 in February.

With the change, the current UFC on ESPN+ 36 includes:

MAIN CARD (8 p.m., ESPN+)

  • Colby Covington vs. Tyron Woodley
  • Donald Cerrone vs. Niko Price
  • Khamzat Chimaev vs. Gerald Meerschaert
