Barboza displayed remarkable toughness and nearly knocked out Lee with a spinning heel kick in the third round but ultimately lost via fifth-round doctor’s stoppage in Saturday’s headliner at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J. For much of the fight, Barboza was battered by vicious ground-and-pound from Lee. As a result of the bout, Barboza is suspended indefinitely pending a CT scan of head and facial bones. At a minimum, he is sidelined for 60 days with 30 days of no contact. Lee, meanwhile, was suspended for 30 days with no contract during training.

The New Jersey State Athletic Control Board recently released a full list of medical suspensions from the event.

A grand total of nine fighters from UFC Fight Night 128 are looking at potential indefinite layoffs including main card notables Justin Willis (ribs and hip/groin), David Branch (lower left leg), Brett Johns (neurological exam), Aljamain Sterling (left ankle/foot) and Jim Miller (head and orbital bones).
