Seven fighters are facing lengthy medical suspensions after a hard-hitting night of action at UFC 245. Both main event combatants, Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington , face 180-day suspensions for injuries sustained in their back-and-forth main event. Usman (16-1 MMA, 11-0 UFC) retained his welterweight championship, but not without sacrificing his well-being. “The Nigerian Nightmare” has been suspended 180 days or until X-ray of left thumb is cleared by physician. Meanwhile, Covington (15-2 MMA, 10-2 UFC) has been suspended 180 days or until his nondisplaced midline mandibular fracture is cleared by oral and maxillofacial surgeon
