UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya’s bid to become a two-division champion may have come at a price.
Adesanya is facing a potential six-month medical suspension following his five-round main event battle with UFC light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz in the main event of UFC 259 on Saturday at UFC APEX in Las Vegas. Blachowicz won a unanimous decision to successfully defend his title.
UFC 259 was overseen by the Nevada Athletic Commission. A list of medical suspensions has been provided by official Association of Boxing Commissions’ record keeper mixedmartialarts.
