According to a list released by the UFC, the now former champion received a six-month medical suspension, which would leave her out until May of next year. However, Ronda could be released sooner if she has a CT scan of her head that rules out any type of injury. In this case, the North American would be able to fight again in 60 days. Holm, the big winner of the night, took the minimum layoff of just one week.
