UFC Sacramento medical suspensions: Both main eventers dealing with possible broken leg after 5-round war

The UFC Sacramento main event delivered a brutal five-round battle between Gregory Rodrigues and Anthony Hernandez, but the toll is now evident in medical suspensions issued by the California State Athletic Commission.

Rodrigues earned a unanimous decision victory, yet both he and his opponent face potential six-month layoffs due to strikingly similar injuries. Rodrigues is sidelined for a possible fracture to his right leg, while Hernandez—who absorbed numerous leg kicks that dropped him during the contest—must get cleared for a possible left knee fracture. Both fighters can return early if physicians clear them.

Other notable suspensions affected several fighters on the card. Prospect Larryan Douglas, whose coach Cub Swanson confirmed a broken orbital bone post-fight, received a 180-day suspension pending medical clearance. Marquel Mederos, despite posting a knockout victory, faces the same timeline for a possible right orbital fracture. Elise Reed opened the card and incurred multiple suspension periods, including 180 days for a possible nose fracture and 60 days for a laceration to her left ear.

Beyond the potential six-month cases, numerous fighters drew 45-day suspensions with 30-day no-contact periods following hard bouts or knockout finishes, while others received standard 7-day mandatory suspensions. All told, the medical report underscores how physically taxing UFC Sacramento proved to be across the entire card, with some competitors facing extended recovery periods before stepping back into the octagon.
