Gaethje, Topuria Draw Six‑Month Suspensions After UFC White House Thriller
At UFC’s White House card, seven knockouts triggered a wave of medical suspensions. In the main event, Justin Gaethje and Ilia Topuria each received 180‑day suspensions (Topuria must be cleared by an oral/maxillofacial surgeon; Gaethje may need clearance for a right wrist injury and a left knee MRI). In the co‑main, Alex Pereira also drew a 180‑day suspension (needs maxillofacial CT clearance) plus a 45‑day mandatory period. The night produced a mix of 8‑day rests (Ciryl Gane, Sean O’Malley, and others), 30–60 day suspensions, and KO‑related holds for several fighters, with the complete regulator’s list detailing each fighter’s clearance requirements and durations.
