The UFC's most active fighter has been slapped with a lengthy timeout.

Welterweight Donald Cerrone could sit out the next six months on medical suspension after suffering a broken nose in his first-round TKO loss to Darren Till in the main event of UFC Fight Night 118 in Gdansk, Poland, this past Saturday, MMAjunkie reports.

The fan favorite has sat out for more than half a year just once over his near seven-year stint in the UFC, and can return to action sooner this time if cleared by a physician.

Also hit with potential six-month bans due to a variety of suspected injuries were light heavyweights Jan Blachowicz and Devin Clark, bantamweight Damian Stasiak, and middleweight Sam Alvey. Like Cerrone, they can get back in the saddle sooner with a doctor's blessing.
