UFC 224 went down over the weekend, featuring a series of exciting match ups. With the night of fights now in the books, the time has come to take a look at the medical suspensions.
UFC 224 featured some serious controversy following the night’s main event. UFC women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes faced off against rising challenger Raquel Pennington in the night’s big headliner.
Nunes put on a seemingly dominant performance over her opponent. With a broken nose and severely bruised up leg, Pennington informed her corner in between rounds four and five that she was “done.”
Rather than throwing in the towel, the fighter’s corner convinced Pennington to compete in the final round. Nunes would go on to earn a TKO victory over the fighter.
It has since been revealed that Raquel Pennington has received a medical suspension of 60 days without contest. Furthermore, the fighter has been suspended from contact for 45 days, pending clearance from a maxillofacial surgeon.
