Both Amanda Nunes and Julianna Pena have been sidelined indefinitely following their bantamweight championship bout in the UFC 277 headliner.
The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations released a full list of medical suspensions from Saturday’s event, which took place at American Airlines Arena in Dallas. Nunes regained the 135-pound belt with a dominant unanimous decision victory, avenging an upset loss to Pena that occurred at UFC 269 last December.
Nunes is suspended indefinitely with a minimum term of 45 days, while Pena is also out indefinitely but with a minimum sit of 60 days. The Texas commission did not specify the nature of each suspension. Everyone on the card received at least a seven-day precautionary sit.
