UFC 331 medical suspensions:  Alonzo Menifield looking at 6 month suspension due gnarly broken thumb

The California State Athletic Commission released medical suspensions from UFC 331, with light heavyweight Alonzo Menifield drawing the most severe penalty despite earning a split-decision victory over Iwo Baraniewski. Menifield suffered a gruesome broken thumb during the opening round of his main card bout, an injury so severe it raised concerns he might lose the digit entirely. The commission handed him a 180-day suspension contingent on medical clearance before he can return to competition.
