Donald Cerrone faces possible six month medical suspension for nose, orbital fractures

Donald Cerrone took a beating against Conor McGregor this past Saturday, suffering a broken nose and ‘mild’ orbital fracture in the UFC 246 main event at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena, per the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC).

Cerrone, who suffered his third straight TKO/KO at UFC 246, could be medically suspended for up to six months unless cleared by a maxillofacial surgeon. The UFC veteran also suffered facial fractures in his knockout loss to Justin Gaethje at UFC Fight Night 158.

According to MMA Fighting, Cerrone’s manager, Josh Jones, says ‘Cowboy’ suffered no serious damage to his brain at UFC 246, as his CT scan came back negative.
