UFC 209 Medical Suspensions: Three Fighters Facing Potential 6-Month Layoffs

Luke Sanders, Mark Godbeer and Tyson Pedro are all facing lengthy layoffs following UFC 209 this past Saturday.

The Nevada Athletic Commission released a full list of medical suspensions from the event, which took place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and saw Tyron Woodley retain his welterweight crown with a majority decision over Stephen Thompson in the evening’s main event. Thompson is suspended until April 4 with no contact until March 26 due to lacerations on his forehead and left eye, while Woodley emerged with a clean bill of health.
