The Brazilian Athletic Commission (CABMMA) released their medical suspensions for the fighters who competed on the UFC 163 card this past Saturday. Chan Sung Jung, who fell to UFC Featherweight Champion Jose Aldo by TKO, leads the pack with a 6 month suspension due to the shoulder dislocation he suffered in the 4th round of his bout. Joining him on the long-term DL are Amanda Nunes (right rib), Phil Davis (right foot), and Ian McCall (right hand). Featherweight kingpin Jose Aldo did not escape unscathed either, as he is out for 90 days with a fracture in his right foot.  The full list of injury suspensions for UFC 163 fighers is below.
