Former UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway and British contender Arnold Allen have both been slapped with medical suspensions after their five-round battle on Saturday night.
The 145lb duo went the distance in Kansas City, with Holloway handing the Ipswich native his first loss under the UFC banner after an impressive 12-fight winning run. Ultimately, the striking of the Hawaiian meant that he won the tight decision, leaving the top of the division up in the air.
Holloway and Allen will both have a month to reflect on the bout after being hit with standard 30-day suspensions following their bouts, for which they can count themselves lucky. Fellow featherweight Billy Quarantillo was knocked out by Edson Barboza in the co-main event, and has been suspended for 60 days, 45 of which must be no contact.
