Donald Cerrone may not get another chance to compete this year, after all.
The perennial UFC contender received a 90-day medical suspension following a first-round loss to Justin Gaethje in the main event of UFC Vancouver this past Saturday at Rogers Arena.
MMA Fighting obtained a list of UFC Vancouver suspensions from www.mixedmartialarts.com, the Association of Boxing Commission’s official records keeper. The ESPN+ event was regulated by the British Columbia Athletic Commission.
Optimistic despite his loss, Cerrone predicted he’d ask the UFC for a quick turnaround only to be denied due a suspension, which he estimated would last between 60 and 90 days.
