Joanne Calderwood scored one of the most important victories of her career at UFC 242, but she might have to sit out awhile before she can capitalize on her victory. Calderwood earned a split-decision victory over Andrea Lee in the featured strawweight prelim bout at Saturday’s card in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, but she’ll also have to miss up to six months due to a nasal issue coiming out of the fight. That’s the most noteworthy item out of the medical suspensions for the event, which were obtained by MMA Junkie on Tuesday. With no official athletic commission to oversee the event in the U.A.E., the UFC self-regulated the card.
