UFC 248 Medical Suspensions: Zhang & Jedrzejczyk Get Lengthy Sits

Weili Zhang

UFC 248 went down this past Saturday in Las Vegas, Nevada and two title fights headlined the card.

In the main event, Israel Adesanya won a very lackluster decision and has been medically suspended for further evaluation. Meanwhile, to no surprise, Weili Zhang and Joanna Jedrzejczyk received lengthy sits for their absolute war in the co-main event where it was Zhang who won a split decision.

Following the event, the Nevada State Athletic Commission released the medical suspensions (via MMA Fighting).
