Two PFL San Diego fighters face six-month suspensions after possible fractures

The California State Athletic Commission released its full list of medical suspensions from PFL San Diego on Monday, with two fighters facing potential six-month absences after suffering possible fractures during Saturday’s card.

Featherweight Khasan Magomedsharipov, who defeated Joshua Weems on the night, left the event with a possible orbital bone fracture. He has been handed a 180-day suspension unless cleared by a physician. Prelim fighter Ilara Joanne faces the same 180-day ban after sustaining a possible fracture to her right knee, along with a separate 60-day suspension contingent on physician clearance for a laceration to her right eye. Joanne also received a mandatory 45-day suspension with 30 days of no-contact following a TKO loss.

In the main event, A.J. McKee earned a dominant decision victory over Salamat Isbulaev but was issued a 60-day suspension unless cleared by a physician for a laceration to his left eye. Isbulaev received an identical 60-day conditional suspension for the same injury, along with a 45-day suspension and 30 days of mandatory no-contact.

The only fighter handed an indefinite suspension was main card opener Abraham Bably, who must undergo both an MRI and a CT scan before being cleared to compete. Bably also received a mandatory 45-day suspension with 30 days of no-contact following his TKO loss.

Several other fighters on the card received standard mandatory rest periods. Sarvardzhon Hamidov and Justin Wetzell were each given 60-day conditional suspensions for lacerations — to the nasal area and forehead respectively — alongside seven-day mandatory rest. Liz Carmouche, Viviane Araujo, Alexander Shabliy, Alfie Davis, Rob Wilkinson, Joshua Weems, Jena Bishop, Ariane da Silva, Shannon Clark, and Cobey Fehr all received seven-day mandatory suspensions.

Magomedsharipov and Joanne’s return timelines will depend entirely on medical clearance, meaning both could be sidelined for the full six months if their fractures are confirmed.
