Per Haljestam / USA TODAY Sports

Jan Blachowicz and Jimi Manuwa could be in for a lot of down time after leaving it all in the Octagon this past Saturday.

The light heavyweights are each facing six-month medical suspensions in relation to their three-round battle at UFC Fight Night 127 in London, according to records obtained by MMAjunkie on Tuesday.

Blachowicz injured his left hand in a unanimous-decision win that avenged a verdict he'd dropped to Manuwa nearly three years ago, while Manuwa reportedly broke his nose. Both can return to action sooner if cleared by a physician.

Also hit with a six-month ban was debuting heavyweight Dmitriy Sosnovskiy, who fractured his right orbital bone in his second-round submission win over Mark Godbeer.
