Sandhagen received a six-month suspension following his unanimous
decision victory over Rob Font in the

UFC on ESPN 50
headliner at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on
Saturday night. The Elevation Fight Team product relied on a steady
diet of takedowns and top pressure to neutralize Font, an approach
that drew boos from the fans but led to a relatively clean victory
in a short-notice catchweight matchup.

“Fully torn tricep in Round 1,” Sandhagen revealed on
Instagram
. “Wasn’t able to punch or elbow with that arm without
pain and it feeling like s—t. Did what I had to do to win that
night.

“Surgery this week — back soon.”

The Tennessee Athletic Commission released a full list of medical
suspensions from Saturday’s event. The nature of the majority of
those suspensions was not specified. Two other fighters from UFC on
ESPN 50 are facing potential six-month sits: Gavin
Tucker
and Ode
Osbourne
.
