Junior dos Santos could be facing six months on the sidelines following his five-round slugfest with Stipe Miocic at UFC on Fox 13.

Dos Santos must produce a negative CT scan to have his suspension reduced. The Brazilian must also avoid contact for 45 days due to a cut on his right eyebrow. Miocic, meanwhile, was suspended 45 days for a cut on his upper lip and must abstain from contact for 30 days.
