Three UFC 272 fighters face six-month suspensions as a result of Saturday’s event, but co-main event participant [autotag]Renato Moicano[/autotag] is not among them.
Moicano was handed a 60-day suspension by the Nevada Athletic Commission following his UFC 272 co-main event loss to former lightweight champion [autotag]Rafael dos Anjos[/autotag] via five-round, unanimous decision at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The fight was largely one-sided through the first four rounds as Moicano, a replacement of four days’ notice, absorbed a tremendous amount of damage. Swollen and bloodied, but unwilling to go away, Moicano survived until the final bell – even when there were times where it seemed like referee Marc Goddard might step in. Despite all this, Moicano could be back competing as early as May.
Main event participants [autotag]Colby Covington[/autotag] and [autotag]Jorge Masvidal[/autotag] received matching 45-day suspensions after five rounds of welterweight competition.
[autotag]Jalin Turner[/autotag], [autotag]Jamie Mullarkey[/autotag], and [autotag]Kennedy Nzechukwu[/autotag] were the three fighters who received lengthy 180-day suspensions, for injuries sustained in their respective preliminary card bouts.
On Monday, The Underground, the official record keeper of the Association of Boxing Commissions, released a full list of UFC 272 fighter medical suspensions. All fighters’ suspensions can terminate sooner should they be cleared by a doctor.
