Nineteen UFC 295 fighters need doctor clearance to remove indefinite suspensions issued by the New York State Athletic Commission, including two of its headliners.

Former light heavyweight champ Jiri Prochazka and new interim heavyweight champ Tom Aspinall are among the group that need clearance after the pay-per-view event, which took place Nov. 11 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

The medical suspensions were released to the NYSAC after a records request by MMA Fighting.

Prochazka was stopped by Alex Pereira in a title fight for the vacant light heavyweight title. Pereira was given a mandatory seven-day term. Aspinall stopped Sergei Pavlovich in the first round to claim the interim title.
