Ronda Rousey and Dominick Cruz Face Suspensions Following UFC 207

Former UFC bantamweight champions Ronda Rousey and Dominick Cruz both received suspensions following their losses at UFC 207 on Friday night.
Amanda Nunes finished Rousey 48 seconds into their headlining bout, but that was still enough time for Rousey to be issued a 45-day medical suspension.
Cruz, on the other hand, went five full rounds with Cody Garbrandt, who dominated the fight. Cruz got in enough shots of his own for Garbrandt to receive a 30-day suspension.
Several other fighters on the card could be out of action for up to six months.
UFC 207: Nunes vs. Rousey took place on Friday, Dec. 30, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
