Derrick Lewis has avoided a lengthy medical suspension, at least for now.
Lewis earned a knockout victory over Travis Browne at an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Fight Night event in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. A few days after the bout, Lewis said he had a broken foot.
The UFC Fight Night 105 medical suspensions have been released and “The Black Beast” was only given a 30-day suspension. MMAJunkie.com reached out to the Nova Scotia Boxing Authority for clarification.
A commission official said the following:
“(Lewis) went to the hospital after the fight for a thorough exam, and they probably picked it up there through an X-ray.”
