The Virginia Department of Professional & Occupational Regulation released a list of medical suspensions from the event on Tuesday. UFC Fight Night 120 took place at the Ted Constant Convocation Center and saw Dustin Poirier submit Anthony Pettis in the third round of the evening’s lightweight headliner.
