UFC 316 medical suspensions: Julianna Peña out indefinitely thanks to Kayla Harrison's torque
UFC 316 is in the past, but numerous fighters remain on suspension until their bumps and bruises heal. The event took place Saturday at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. and featured 13 fights including two title fights. On Tuesday, the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board (NJSACB) released a full list of fighters' injuries and their coinciding suspension. Fighters can return prior to the conclusion of their suspension if they are cleared by a medical professional. The most prominent suspension is former UFC women's bantamweight champion Julianna Peña who is out indefinitely until her left elbow and shoulder is cleared. The potential injuries were likely sustained during Kayla Harrison's kimura that won the title. Main event combatants Merab Dvalishvili and Sean O'Malley were not handed medical suspensions.

UFC Atlanta hit with lineup change on fight week
UFC Atlanta hit with lineup change on fight week It is with deep sorrow that I announce my first withdrawal from my fight in 15 UFC appearances. Unfortunately, I was not medically cleared due to a condition requiring surgical intervention. I trust this is part of a greater plan, and I'm committed to returning stronger. — Charles Jourdain (@JourdainAir) June 10, 2025 Ricky Simon has a new opponent for Saturday's UFC on ESPN 69. With Charles Jourdain unable to get medical clearance for an eye issue, Simon (21-6 MMA, 9-5 UFC) will now face Cameron Smotherman (12-5 MMA, 1-1 UFC) on the preliminary card at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. The bout will be contested at featherweight. The promotion announced the change Tuesday after an initial report Monday by Eurosport NL. "It is with deep sorrow that I announce my first withdrawal from my fight in 15 UFC appearances," Jourdain wrote on X. "Unfortunately, I was not medically cleared due to a condition requiring surgical intervention. I trust this is part of a greater plan, and I'm committed to returning stronger." Smotherman, 27, made his UFC debut in October when he upset Jake Hadley by unanimous decision on short notice. He returned in May, but lost by unanimous decision to Serhiy Sidey. Simon, 32, snapped a three-fight skid in February when he landed a first-round, performance bonus-earning bludgeoning punch on Javid Basharat. UFC on ESPN 69 lineup MAIN CARD (ESPN, 10 p.m. ET) Kamaru Usman vs. Joaquin Buckley Miranda Maverick vs. Rose Namajunas Andre Petroski vs. Edmen Shahbazyan Raoni Barcelos vs. Cody Garbrandt Mansur Abdul-Malik vs. Cody Brundage Alonzo Menifield vs. Oumar Sy PRELIMINARY CARD (ESPN+, 7 p.m. ET)
