UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor is benched for two months following his 10th-round knockout loss to Floyd Mayweather.
The Nevada State Athletic Commission today issued medical suspensions for "The Money Fight," which took place this past Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The event's main card aired live on Showtime pay-per-view.
McGregor (21-3 MMA, 0-1 boxing) was stopped with a flurry of punches at the 1:05 mark of the 10th frame after a strong early performance. It was his first professional boxing match - and loss - and could signal a dual MMA and boxing run.
Mayweather (50-0 boxing) escaped without a suspension for his retirement fight, which brought his overall record to 50-0, a resume that eclipses heavyweight great Rocky Marciano.
The full list of medical suspensions from "The Money Fight" includes:
Conor McGregor suspended until Oct. 26 with no contact until Oct. 11
Nathan Cleverly

Thomas Dulorme
