UFC 272 recently took place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. It has been noted that three UFC 272 fighters will face six-month suspensions as a result of Saturday’s event. However, the co-main event participant Renato Moicano is not among them. 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 if they are cleared by a doctor.
Several UFC stars handed medical suspension
It has been revealed that Moicano was handed a 60-day suspension by the Nevada Athletic Commission following his UFC 272 co-main event loss to former lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos via a five-round, unanimous decision.
The fight was a one-way affair through the first four rounds as Moicano, a replacement of four days’ notice, found on the end of a lot of damage. Swollen and bloodied, but unwilling to give up, 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 and arch-rivals, Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal have also received matching 45-day suspensions after five rounds of welterweight competition. Jalin Turner, Jamie Mullarkey, and Kennedy Nzechukwu were the three fighters who received lengthy 180-day suspensions, for injuries sustained in their respective preliminary card bouts.
