UFC welterweight contender Tyron Woodley is one of five fighters facing a potential six-month medical suspension from the Nevada Athletic Commission for injuries incurred during UFC 183 last Saturday.
Woodley suffered a broken foot during a unanimous decision victory over Kelvin Gastelum, a possible explanation for why he faded down the stretch and almost let the fight slip through his fingers in the final round.
