News: Champ Jon Jones out six months unless cleared by doctor

He certainly looked unscathed following his first-ever title defense, but light-heavyweight champ Jon Jones is on the bench for six months unless a doctor says otherwise. 

MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) today requested and received a list of UFC 135 medical suspensions from the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies' Office of Boxing. 

UFC 135 took place this past Saturday, Sept. 24, at Denver's Pepsi Center. All in all, a total of 12 athletes were suspended following the event.

Details on the nature of the suspensions were not available. 

Quinton Jackson, who took visible damage in an unsuccessful bid to retake Jones' title in the event's pay-per-view headliner, has a mandatory suspension of two months.



Other significant suspensions include Aaron Riley, who reported a broken jaw following the first round of his loss with "The Ultimate Fighter 13" winner Tony Ferguson. The veteran fighter is out six months or until he gains doctor's clearance. 

James Te Huna delivered a savage knockout to Ricardo Romero but apparently damaged something along the way. The Australian is out six months barring doctor's clearance. Romero sits out two months. 





The full list of UFC 135 medical suspensions includes: 

  • Jon Jones: Suspended 180 days (or 45 days with physican clearance)
  • Quinton Jackson: Suspended 60 days with no contact during training for 45 days
  • Matt Hughes: Suspended 45 days no contact for 30 days
