Derrick Lewis won’t be on the sidelines for too long after suffering a second-round KO loss to Tai Tuivasa this past Saturday.
According to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, Lewis was removed from UFC 271 for a period of 60 seven days. Tuivasa was only suspended for seven days after the victory, even though he made some great shots in the first round.
Headliners Israel Adesanya and Robert Whittaker were issued suspensions until Feb. 28 following their five-round battle for the middleweight title. Adesanya successfully retained his championship via unanimous decision.
Two fighters were given indefinite suspensions following the UFC’s February PPV event. Marcelo Rojo — who was submitted by Kyler Phillips in the third round of their bantamweight matchup — and Maxim Grishin, who defeated William Knight via unanimous decision in the event’s opening bout, could be out of action for the foreseeable future.
Medical suspensions were released on Tuesday by official ABC record-keeper mixedmartialarts.com. The TDLR does not disclose details of the injuries.
