Cory Sandhagen was victorious in the UFC on ESPN+ 37 main event, but his win came at a cost. Taking on fellow top bantamweight contender Marlon Moraes on Saturday, Sandhagen (13-2 MMA, 6-1 UFC) picked up a second-round TKO via a spinning wheel kick and punches. Against Moraes (23-7-1 MMA, 5-3 UFC), however, Sandhagen sustained an eye injury that could put him out of action for 180 days. On Monday, MMA Junkie obtained the full list of suspensions from MixedMartialArts.com , the Association of Boxing Commissions’ official record keeper. Also receiving potential six-month suspensions are Tom Breese , Rodrigo Nascimento , Impa Kasanganay , Tony Kelley , and Omar Morales for injuries suffered in their fights Saturday. UFC on ESPN+ 37 took place at Flash Forum on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi.
