UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman could be sidelined for up to six months after his most recent title defense. Usman (18-1 MMA, 13-0 UFC), who retained his title after stopping Gilbert Burns (19-4 MMA, 12-4 UFC) in the third round of the UFC 258 main event, will need doctor clearance for his right foot or he could be looking at a lengthy spell on the sidelines. Joining Usman with potential 180-day terms is Alexa Grasso , who defeated Maycee Barber via unanimous decision. Grasso (13-3 MMA, 5-3 UFC) must have an X-ray and MRI on her right knee. Barber (8-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC), who returned after more than a year away, could be facing time on the shelf again, requiring an MRI on her right shoulder.
