Amanda Nunes and Julianna Peña could be on the sidelines for a bit following their main event war this past Saturday.
In the main event of UFC 277 in Dallas, Nunes picked up a dominant unanimous decision win over Peña to regain the UFC women’s bantamweight championship. Both women wore quite a bit of damage following the conclusion of the bout.
On Tuesday, the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation revealed that Nunes and Peña are among five competitors facing indefinite suspensions. The list also includes event winners Drew Dober, Drakkar Klose, and Michael Morales, all of whom will be eligible to return with the combination of clearance from a physician and a minimum mandated amount of time out of action. Details on the nature of the suspensions were not released due to medical privacy laws.
In the co-main event, Brandon Moreno stopped Kai Kara-France in the third round to capture the interim flyweight title. Moreno was given a 45-day suspension, while Kara-France received 60 days on the sidelines.
Anthony Smith suffered a second-round TKO loss to Magomed Ankalaev in the main card opener, as well as an ankle injury. Smith was given a 30-day suspension, although he told MMA Fighting on Tuesday that he suffered a broken ankle that will require surgery.
