Anthony Pettis and Curtis Blaydes were clear-cut winners at UFC Nashville, but both could be looking at a lengthy time on the sidelines.
The Tennessee Athletic Commission recently released a full list of medical suspensions from UFC Fight Night 148.
Meanwhile, Curtis Blaydes needs an x-ray and doctor clearance on his right foot, or he will also be out six months. Blaydes earned a dominant three-round verdict over Justin Willis in the evening’s heavyweight co-headliner. Willis received a 30-day suspension.
Three others from UFC Nashville are facing possible 180-day layoffs: Luis Pena (right shoulder, lower ribs), Maycee Barber (right hand) and J.J. Aldrich (needs ophthalmologist clearance).
