Yana Kunitskaya, Scott Holtzman and two more face potential six-month suspensions following UFC Vegas 6

Several fighters are facing potential six-month suspensions following UFC Vegas 6 this past weekend in Las Vegas.

On Wednesday, the Nevada State Athletic Commission released the medical suspensions for the card.

Despite a dramatic ending to the main event, Aleksei Oleinik escaped his loss to Derrick Lewis with minimal time off with the commission issuing a short suspension until Sept. 23 with no contact until Sept. 8 due to lacerations around his left eye and lip.

Women’s bantamweight contender Yana Kunitskaya wasn’t as lucky, however, after she earned a unanimous decision win over Julija Stoliarenko in a fight featured on the main card.
