Joanna Lands On UFC Tampa Injured List Due To Foot
Joanna Jedrzejczyk may not have broken her foot this past Saturday night, buy she will still need a doctor to medically clear her to fight, or suffer a lengthy suspension.
The former UFC strawweight champion was one of ten fighters who competed at the UFC’s return to Florida to face a six-month or indefinite suspension, due to a variety of injuries.
Jedrzejczyk has already seen a doctor regarding both of her feet, one of which seemed broken in the process of her fight against Michelle Waterson, she does not expect to miss much time.
Co-headliner Cub Swanson, who gained a decision win over Kron Gracie, will face an indefinite suspension unless he gets X-ray that clears him to fight, as well James Vick who was knocked out in the first round by Niko Price, and will need a neurological clearance to compete. Vick states on social media this week that a post-fight CT scan came in negative, but no word on how long he will remain on the mend.
