UFC 271 Medical Suspensions: Derrick Lewis Gets 60 Days After Brutal Knockout

Derrick Lewis will be sidelined for two months following his knockout loss to Tai Tuivasa in the UFC 271 co-main event.

“The Black Beast” received a 60-day medical suspension after a standing elbow from Tuivasa caused the Houston native to face plant into the canvas at the 1:40 mark of Round 2 in their heavyweight encounter. Tuivasa, meanwhile, received only a mandatory seven-day suspension.

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation released a full list of medical suspensions from the event to mixedmartialarts.com.
