The California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) has released its full list of medical suspensions stemming from MVP MMA 1: \u201cRousey vs. Carano,\u201d<\/a> which took place this past weekend (Sat., May 16, 2026) inside Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, California.<\/p>\n

And while several fighters received standard precautionary suspensions, former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos drew the most concerning medical outcome of the night.<\/p>\n

Following his brutal knockout loss to Robelis Despaigne on the Netflix main card (watch highlights<\/a>), \u201cCigano\u201d was handed an indefinite suspension pending neurological clearance.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, MMA legend Nate Diaz received a six-month suspension after reportedly suffering a broken finger during his bloody TKO loss<\/a> to Mike Perry in the co-main event.<\/p>\n

Ronda Rousey: Seven-day mandatory suspension
