Conor McGregor escapes medical suspension from UFC 196 while Nate Diaz is out until April

Fans hoping to see Conor McGregor rebound at UFC 200 can release a little sigh of relief.

The medical suspensions from fighters competing at UFC 196 were released late on Monday and 'The Notorious' has avoided any competition or contact ban from the Nevada State Athletic Commission. Despite losing in Saturday night's main event, McGregor has actually escaped any medical suspensions while Nate Diaz, who won via second round rear naked choke, has been suspended until late April. Ironically, Diaz's suspension will be served until 20 April which has become a day synonymous with the cannabis culture in the United States (both Diaz brothers are known marijuana users). Here is the full list of medical suspensions as obtained by SportsJOE on Monday. Nate Diaz: Suspended until 20 April with no contact until 5 April due to laceration over right eye. Ilir Latifi: Suspended until 5 September unless cleared by doctor or X-Ray on his left second toe. Valentina Shevchenko: Suspended until 5 April with no contact until 27 March due to laceration on left eye. Siyar Bahadurzada: Suspended until 5 September unless jaw is cleared by doctor (minimum suspension until 27 March with no contact until 20 March). Brandon Thatch: Suspended until 5 September unless cleared by X-Ray on left foot (minimum suspension until 20 April with no contact until 5 April). Nordine Taleb: Suspended until 25 September unless cleared doctor or by X-Ray/MRI on left knee. Marcelo Guimaraes: Suspended until 25 September unless cleared by doctor or X-Ray/MRI on left knee (minimum suspension until 20 April with no contact until 4 April). Erick Silva: Suspended until 20 April with no contact until 5 April. Chas Skelly: Suspended until 20 April with no contact until 5 April. Julian Erosa: Suspended until 20 April with no contact until 5 April. Justin Salas: Suspended until 5 April with no contact until 27 March due to laceration under right eye.
