UFC 195 medical suspensions: Lawler, Condit get two-month suspensions after war

A five-round slugfest at UFC 195 left both Robbie Lawler and Carlos Condit hanging on the promotion’s octagon, bloodied and exhausted.

While they undoubtedly will take full advantage of an upcoming rest and relaxation period, neither fighter drew a long forced layoff from the overseeing Nevada State Athletic Commission, which today released medical suspensions from this past Saturday’s event.

Lawler, who defended his belt for the second time via split decision, drew a two-month suspension, as did former interim champ Condit in his second bid to win undisputed gold.

UFC 195 took place at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena. The event’s main card aired live on pay-per-view following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.

More notable suspensions were earned on the event’s preliminary card, where the victorious Dustin Poirier could spent six months on the bench for a previously reported broken nose. Middleweight Kyle Noke also drew the same potential term.

And “TUF Nations” finalist Sheldon Westcott, who stopped Edgar Garcia in the night’s opener, is potentially out half a year with injuries to his left knee and right hand.

The full list of medical suspensions from UFC 195 includes:

• Robbie Lawler: Suspended 60 days with no contact for 45 days.
