UFC Vegas 39 is in the books. The main event saw Marina Rodriguez put on something of a striking clinic against Mackenzie Dern — and after winning a unanimous decision, Rodriguez apparently walked away with little more than a scratch.
Dern was not so lucky. She’s one of several fighters who could be on the shelf until April, unless cleared by a doctor or via a negative x-ray. In Dern’s case, her right thumb is the culprit.
Charlie Ontiveros might have been the worst off following Saturday’s card. Facing six months off, he’ll need to be cleared by an orthopedic doctor for “fragments along distal medial humerus in right forearm” and must have an “OMF, ENT or ophthalmologist doctor’s clearance for fracture of region of junction of left zygoma and squamous portion of left temporal bone.”
