What exactly is meant by precautionary reasons? Is that just a week lay off to prevent any further injuries, and to allow time to heal? If so why is it done like this because most fighters aren’t back in the octagon in a week or so. So are the suspensions neccessary? I’m just curious to how this all works.
yea, i think it involves them not jumping back into training as well.. might be wrong
