Al Iaquinta won't need to wait long to get back in the saddle.
The fan favorite lightweight was hit with a two-month medical suspension in relation to the lopsided verdict he dropped to Khabib Nurmagomedov on a day's notice at UFC 223 in Brooklyn this past weekend, according to records MMA Fighting obtained from the New York State Athletic Commission on Tuesday.
Iaquinta had been slated to face Paul Felder on the bill but stepped up a day prior when Max Holloway - who himself filled in for Tony Ferguson on six days' notice - was ruled medically unfit to keep cutting down to 155 lbs.
Also hit with a 60-day ban was featherweight Kyle Bochniak, who dropped the card's Fight of the Night to Zabit Magomedsharipov by unanimous decision.
