Two fighters face potential six-month suspensions as a result of their UFC on ESPN 9 fights Saturday.
The Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) handed Spike Carlyle and Vince Morales potential 180-day terms for injuries sustained in their respective bouts.
UFC headliners Tyron Woodley and Gilbert Burns were each suspended, with Woodley getting 45 days due to a facial laceration. Burns, who was victorious after a five-round unanimous decision, was handed a potential 30-day suspensions.
MMA Junkie obtained a list of the UFC on ESPN 9 athletes’ medical suspensions from the NAC on Monday. Fighters can return sooner than the duration of their suspension if cleared by a doctor.
