UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz and former lightweight champion Anthony Pettis highlighted a list of six fighters to be hit with 180-day medical suspensions in the aftermath of UFC Fight Night 81, according to information released Friday to MMA Fighting by the Massachusetts State Athletic Commission (MSAC).
Cruz defeated T.J. Dillashaw via split decision in the night's main event to capture back his UFC bantamweight title, but suffered an aggravation of a previous plantar fascia tendinitis injury midway through the contest. Pettis lost a split decision to Eddie Alvarez in the night's co-main event.
