Former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis was one of five fighters to be issued a potential six-month medical suspension in the aftermath of UFC 229.
The Nevada Athletic Commission released the event’s finalized medical suspension report to MMA Fighting on Monday.
Pettis suffered a second-round TKO loss to Tony Ferguson in the night’s co-main event after his head coach, Duke Roufus, ended the fight between rounds due to Pettis sustaining a broken hand. As a result of potential damage suffered in the bout, Pettis will be forced to seek medical clearance on a different injury — a potential nasal fracture — or sit out six months before returning to active competition, per Nevada officials.
