Overeem needs a CT scan within five days and an MRI after five days following his first-round knockout loss. The Jackson-Wink MMA product was also suspended for 60 days. Miocic was suspended 45 days with 15 days of no contact.
Browne, meanwhile, is out indefinitely pending orthopedic clearance
on his right finger, which he appeared to injure in the first round
of a unanimous decision loss to Fabricio
Werdum in the co-main event. The Hawaiian briefly asked for a
stop in the action after the injury, but after being examined by
medical personnel he elected to continue.
Three other fighters from Saturday’s card face indefinite layoffs: Jimmie Rivera (needs ophthalmologist clearance), Brad Tavares (lower back), Sean Spencer (left hand).
