‘Cowboy’ faces lengthy medical suspension

Donald Cerrone will have to sidelined for 180 days following his UFC 246 loss to Conor McGregor this past Saturday night.

The American lost in a matter of just 40 seconds into the first round, as the Irishman walked away unscathed. However, that’s not the case with Cerrone who got hit with some brutal shoulder shots to the face and a hard kick to the face. Then a barrage of punches followed and Herb Dean had no other choice but to waive off the bout.

As well as McGregor, six other fighters on the UFC 246 card walked away suspension-less and so won’t now be mandated to sit out a period of time.

Cerrone has been suspended for half a year or until nasal fracture and possible mild orbital fracture are cleared by a maxillofacial physician; also suspended 30 days with no contact for 21 days.
