Victorious main event and co-main event fighters Anthony Pettis and Curtis Blaydes were among a group of five fighters to be issued potential 180-day medical suspensions in the aftermath of UFC Nashville.
The Tennessee Athletic Commission released the event’s finalized medical suspension report to MMA Fighting on Monday.
Pettis scored a stunning second-round knockout of Stephen Thompson in the night’s main event, while Blaydes dominated Justin Willis en route to a lopsided unanimous decision win in the card’s co-headlining bout. As a result of potential damage sustained in the contests, both fighters will be forced to seek medical clearance on their respective potential injuries (Pettis, ENT clearance; Blaydes, right foot) or sit out 180 days before returning to active competition, per Tennessee commission officials.
