Last weekend’s UFC Vegas 6 took quite the toll on a number of fighters. Though the main event between Derrick Lewis and Aleksei Oleinik (which ended in a TKO win for Lewis) didn’t result in any major suspensions, further down the card there were a number of fighters who may be held out of action until mid 2021.

Here’s a full breakdown of the suspensions, handed out by the Nevada State Athletic Commission, via Kirik Jenness and his The Underground forum.
