UFC 241 Medical Suspensions: Anthony Pettis Faces Six-Month Sit

This past weekend (Sat. August 17, 2019) UFC 241 took place on pay-per-view (PPV) from the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.

In the main event of the night, Stipe Miocic knocked out Daniel Cormier in the fourth round to reclaim the heavyweight championship. Also, Nate Diaz ended a three-year layoff with a unanimous decision win over Anthony “Showtime” Pettis in front of his fellow Californian crowd.

A middleweight banger took place between Paulo Costa and Yoel Romero, which the Brazilian won via unanimous decision. Now, the fighters on one of the biggest cards of the year have received their medical suspensions after their respective wars. The likes of Anthony Pettis, Yoel Romero, and Paulo Costa are facing possible 180-day sits.
