UFC 271 Medical Suspensions: Derrick Lewis Gets 60 Days After Brutal Knockout

Derrick
Lewis will be sidelined for two months following his knockout
loss to Tai Tuivasa
in the UFC 271
co-main event.

“The Black Beast” received a 60-day medical suspension after a
standing elbow from Tuivasa caused the Houston native to face plant
into the canvas at the 1:40 mark of Round 2 in their heavyweight
encounter. Tuivasa, meanwhile, received only a mandatory seven-day
suspension.
