UFC 214 Medical Suspensions: Donald Cerrone Tagged with Six-Month Suspension

One of the most popular fighters in Ultimate Fighting Championship history won’t be stepping into the Octagon anytime soon. Donald Cerrone was slapped with a six-month medical suspension from the California State Athletic Commission on Tuesday stemming from his wild brawl with Robbie Lawler at UFC 214 last Saturday.

CSAC officials stated that “Cowboy” will need medical clearance due to a possible fracture to his left eye. Cerrone lost on points to Lawler, a former UFC welterweight champion, and was deemed to have pupil constriction when he was examined by cageside physicians.
