TJ Dillashaw and Adrian Yanez are both facing the possibility of six-month medical suspensions after UFC Vegas 32.
We saw a series of entertaining fights take place last weekend in Las Vegas with TJ Dillashaw‘s win over Cory Sandhagen being the biggest headline of them all. The former UFC bantamweight champion fought through adversity and just about managed to overcome Sandhagen, cementing himself as a real contender at the top of the division.
However, as per MMA Fighting, he’s been handed a medical suspension that could delay his return to the Octagon – which is also true for Adrian Yanez, the young superstar who beat Randy Costa at the event.
