UFC Vegas 11 medical suspensions: Tyron Woodley leads the way with six-month sit
Tyron Woodley broke his ribs during his fight against Colby Covington

Leading the way in mandatory sits is Tyron Woodley, who was tagged with a six-month suspension following his five-round war against Colby Covington in the main event of UFC Vegas 11, which he lost via fifth round TKO. “The Chosen One” suffered a broken rib in the final frame which will keep him out for the rest of the year. In the aftermath of that injury, Woodley revealed through an X-ray that he did suffer a broken rib during the fight, which is what could potentially keep him side-lined for several months. 

Similarly, co-main event fighter Niko Price is facing a similar term after he was handed a potential six-month suspension due to a right-hand injury from his fight against Donald Cerrone. Price has to get his right hand X-rayed, and if the results come back positive, he must have an orthopaedic doctor clear him, or he’ll be side-lined until March 19, 2021.
