UFC Interim Lightweight Champion Justin Gaethje has received a clean bill of health following the release of the UFC 249 medical suspensions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Gaethje put on the performance of a lifetime this past Saturday night as he outworked Tony Ferguson in a dominant main event in Jacksonville, Florida.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

“The Highlight” is now expected to move on to a showdown with Khabib Nurmagomedov for the undisputed UFC Lightweight Championship at some point in 2020 when “The Eagle” is able to get back into the United States.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As reported by MMA Junkie<\/a>, the medical suspensions for all UFC 249 fighters have been released. See what Gaethje and the other stars of the card got in terms of suspension below:\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

While Khabib Nurmagomedov is clearly going to be viewed as the favorite to retain his Lightweight Championship in a showdown with the former WSOF star Justin Gaethje, the last few performances from Gaethje appear to indicate that he could pose the Russian with more problems than we may have initially thought.<\/p>\r\n
