Colby Covington will be sidelined for about a month and a half following UFC Tampa.
Covington received a 45-day medical suspension following his third-round doctor stoppage loss to Joaquin Buckley in the UFC on ESPN 63 headliner at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida, on Dec. 14. The bout was stopped at the 4:42 mark of Round 3 due to a severe cut above Covington’s right eye. Buckley, meanwhile, emerged with a clean bill of health.
