The UFC featherweight champion must have his left foot and ankle cleared by an orthopedic doctor or he cannot compete until Feb. 17. At a minium, the “Notorious” one is out until Oct. 20 with no contact until Oct. 5. The Nevada Athletic Commission released medical suspensions from the event on Monday.

McGregor utilized a leg-kick heavy attack to avenge a UFC 196 loss to Diaz on Saturday at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. After the victory, the SBG Ireland representative needed crutches to attend post-fight media functions. Diaz, meanwhile, emerged relatively unscathed. He was suspended until Sept. 20 with no contact until Sept. 11.

Two other fighters from UFC 202 are facing six months on the sidelines pending medical clearance: Artem Lobov (right leg/ankle) and Neil Magny (left leg).
