Two-division UFC champ Amanda Nunes and featherweight title challenger Felicia Spencer had very different competitive outcomes at UFC 250, but both face potentially long timeouts.
According to medical suspensions released on Monday by the Nevada Athletic Commission, which regulated the ESPN+ pay-per-view event this past Saturday at UFC APEX in Las Vegas, Nunes needs an X-ray of her right tibia and fibula to avoid a six-month suspension.
Spencer, meanwhile, needs doctor clearance for an orbital fracture and broken nose to shorten a half-year timeout.
Nunes battered Spencer over five rounds to retain the UFC featherweight title. So dominant was the champ’s performance, many fighters said online that the Spencer’s corner could have thrown in the towel.
If Nunes follows through with her stated post-fight plans, a six-month suspension will have no effect on her career. The champ said she might not fight for the rest of 2020 as she prepares for the arrival of her daughter with UFC strawweight Nina Ansaroff.
In other notable suspensions, Raphael Assuncao and Eddie Wineland, who were viciously knocked out in respective bouts against ex-champ Cody Garbrandt and Sean O’Malley, received 60-day suspensions.
Here’s the full list of medical suspensions from UFC 250:
