UFC 330 brought the violence – and the ***** ps and bruises.
On Thursday, the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission (PSAC) released a full list of medical suspensions issued to the combatants from Saturday's event at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia.
The highest-profile name to receive a suspension was Islam Makhachev, who the commission diagnosed with a rib contusion, resulting in a 30-day term handed out. Ian Machado Garry, whom he beat by unanimous decision in the main event, did not receive a medical suspension. Neither did co-main event participants Mackenzie Dern and Gillian Robertson.
Three fighters from the undercard are facing indefinite suspensions. Unsurprisingly, Tresean Gore, who lost at least one tooth as the result of a Vicente Luque flying knee, is among that bunch. Eduardo Chapolin and Ramiz Brahimaj are also now on indefinite suspensions as a result of their finish losses.
Check out a full list of PSAC medical suspensions below. It's important to note that in most cases, fighters can return sooner than the duration ***** igned to them, as long as they are cleared by a proper medical professional.

PHILADELPHIA – Neil Magny met the media Saturday after his win over Ramiz Brahimaj at UFC 330.
Magny (32-14 MMA, 25-13 UFC) upset Brahimaj (13-7 MMA, 5-5 UFC) on the prelims at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia. Magny's second-round TKO was his UFC record 25th as a welterweight and put him in second place for most UFC wins of all time.
Magny just turned 39, and though many have pegged him as a divisional gatekeeper the past decade, given his biggest winning streak has been three fights, he said retirement is not on the horizon, even when he hears about the numbers by his name in the record books.
"I have no idea what a retirement fight looks like (due to records), so I can't even put a number and say, 'Oh, that's a good retirement fight.' I have no idea," Magny told MMA Junkie and other reporters at his post-fight news conference. "Retirement fight is not even on my radar. After training, most guys get done and throw their gloves on a mat. I refuse to drop my gloves on a mat after training because it symbolizes retirement, so to speak. So I'm holding on to these things as long as possible and going out there fighting as often as possible.
"… The day that I'm no longer able to do this is inevitable. It comes for all of us. But as long as I'm able to go out there and continue doing this, continue loving it, I'll keep showing up."

Neil Magny, never change.
The veteran of 38 UFC fights added to his incredible list of comebacks Saturday at UFC 330, scoring a knockout over Ramiz Brahimaj after dropping the opening round of their welterweight contest.
Watch Magny's latest impressive finish below.
Brahimaj took an early lead in the fight, using his powerful wrestling to ground Magny and prevent the 16-year veteran from getting any offense going. However, Brahimaj wasn't able to **** ert himself completely and Magny avoided any major damage heading into the second round.
Magny was able to get top position himself in Round 2, and even though Brahimaj managed to reverse, the momentum appeared to be shifting in Magny's favor. Sure enough, Magny eventually bullied Brahimaj against the cage and landed punch after punch on his fading opponent to force the stoppage.

Neil Magny thinks Ian Machado Garry has the tools to stop UFC welterweight champion Islam Makhachev's incredible win streak.
Machado Garry (17-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC) is a big underdog against Makhachev (28-1 MMA, 17-1 UFC) in their UFC 330 (Paramount+) main event Saturday at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia. Magny lost a unanimous decision to Machado Garry at UFC 292, where he was taken down twice and heavily outstruck over the course of three rounds. He sees Machado Garry being well rounded enough to trouble Makhachev.
"Surprisingly I think I may be the only person to think this, but I think he has a chance to pull it off," Magny told MMA Junkie of Machado Garry. "I know he's the underdog going into the fight, but his skillsets and just how well rounded he is, I think he can present a big problem to Makhachev that he hasn't faced before in the octagon.
"The reach advantage, how well Ian fights from the outside, his ability to get back to his feet, his submission defense, everything that Makhachev does well and is able to exploit in other fighters, I think Ian actually has the answers going into the fight."
Magny (31-14 MMA, 24-13 UFC) competes earlier on the night when he takes on Ramiz Brahimaj (13-6 MMA, 5-4 UFC) on the early prelims.

The all-time winningest UFC welterweight has his next opportunity to run up the score.
At UFC 330, Neil Magny returns once again, as he battles Ramiz Brahimaj in a three-round welterweight bout. The fight takes place at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia. Heavy first reported the news Wednesday, with the UFC confirming shortly thereafter.
Also added to the card was a lightweight bout between Jalin Turner and Kaue Fernandes.
Magny (31-14 MMA, 24-13 UFC) had a two-fight winning streak snapped in his most recent appearance when he was quickly submitted by Yaroslav Amosov. The 38-year-old still can compete, though, with as many wins as losses since the start of 2022.
Brahimaj (13-6 MMA, 5-4 UFC) also looks to bounce back after a win-streak-ending loss. He defeated Mickey Gall, Billy Ray Goff, and Austin Vanderford before a unanimous decision loss to Puna Soriano in February.
