Heavyweight co-headliners Andrei Arlovski and Frank Mir top of a list of five fighters from UFC 191 who are facing potential six-month suspensions following Saturday’s event.

The Nevada Athletic Commission on Tuesday released a list of medical suspensions from UFC 191. Arlovski, who defeated Mir via unanimous decision to earn his fourth straight UFC triumph, must have his right hand cleared by an orthopedic doctor or he will be sidelined until March 5. Mir, meanwhile, must also have his right hand examined and cleared before he can return to action.

Corey Anderson will need to receive dental clearance following his three-round verdict over Jan Blachowicz, as he has loose teeth following the light heavyweight contest. Meanwhile, Alex Chambers must have an MRI on her left knee to rule out ACL damage; “Astro Girl” revealed earlier on Tuesday that she blew out her knee in the second round of her submission loss to Paige VanZant.

Finally, Joaquim Silva must receive an orbital CT scan and medical clearance or he will be on the shelf for six months. Silva defeated Nazareno Malegarie via split decision in the evening’s opening bout.
