The medical suspensions for UFC 250 are in, and as is usually the case for a card with so much action, many fighters are facing long sits.
Felicia Spencer, who was brutalized by UFC featherweight champ Amanda Nunes in the card’s main event, is facing six months out. Nunes, despite the lopsided nature of her win, is facing a similar layoff—though she intends to take some time off anyway.
