Two fighters, including headliner and women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes , have received UFC 224 mandatory medical suspensions that could last six months. MMAjunkie today obtained the list of medical suspensions from Atletica Brasileira de MMA (CABMMA) – the Brazilian MMA Athletic Commission – which oversaw Saturday’s pay-per-view event at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro. Seven fighters received suspensions of at least 60 days (all fighters are given terms of at least 14 days with no contact permitted while training for seven days). Nunes (16-4 MMA, 9-1 UFC), who defended her belt with a lopsided fifth-round stoppage victory over challenger Raquel Pennington (9-6 MMA, 6-3 UFC), has been suspended 180 days due to a possible right-foot injury. However, she be cleared early by a doctor and X-ray, though even if cleared, she’s suspended for a minimum of 30 days. Pennington has been suspended 60 days with no contact for 45 days due to possible facial injuries.
