![UFC Fight Night Ortega v The Korean Zombie: Weigh-Ins James Krause UFC](https://cagesidepress.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/UFC-Fight-Island-6-04-696x464.jpg)
After the carnage at UFC Fight Island 6, there was somewhat surprisingly less in the way of length for the medical suspensions. When all was said and done, only two fighters will be facing the whopping six month layoff, although all were handed some amount of time off.
Among those with the big layoffs is main card winner James Krause. The Glory MMA and Fitness coach took the bout on short notice and won a decision over the previously undefeated Claudio Silva. He would not leave the cage unscathed though, as he suffered an apparent injury to his right knee. It’s unclear as to whether that knee was already compromised prior to the fight. Regardless, he’ll need that cleared by an MRI in order to return earlier.
Also facing the 180 days is Mark Striegl, who suffered a brutal knockout at the hands of Said Nurmagomedov. As Striegl attempted a single leg takedown, Nurmagomedov fired away with punches, ultimately stunning and stopping the fighter from the Philippines. The blows apparently did some damage to Striegl’s face as he’ll need to be cleared by an OMF to return prior to the end of his sentence.
