Jon Jones and Dominick Reyes have both been handed 31-day medical suspensions following their epic UFC 247 clash.
Jones clung on to his light-heavyweight title in Houston following a five-round clash which Reyes was convinced he won.
Each of the judges gave the champion the nod, a decision which sparked widespread debate about the scoring of MMA bouts.
Both Jones and Reyes will both be expected to sit out for a month - a suspension which has little bearing given neither are expected to fight again until the summer.
Women's flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko however has been given a 181-day suspension (almost six months) despite her third-round win over Katyln Chookagian.
Jones, meanwhile, has taken to social media to insist he deserved to beat Reyes.
"Dominic out struck me by literally 12 shots" he wrote. "I scored the take downs, was the aggressor, control the octagon every round, had more significant strikes landed.
"Dom completely stopped fighting in the championship rounds and has the audacity to be mad at the judges.
"Don’t be mad at the judges, be mad at Dom’s conditioning guy. Man started to give up when the water got deep and is now going around doing interviews talking about being robbed.
"When will these young boys start taking responsibility? That’s what’s wrong with boys these days.
"At the end of the day, I got to be a part of another classic. I’m over here in ABQ smiling from ear to ear.

"Having fights like that tickles my pickle, it makes me feel so alive. Makes me feel like a man. Especially when you display having balls the way I did, nothing but a win.
"This will probably be one of the only times I defend myself about the fight; just glad it has everyone talking.
"I don’t think people realise how many ways this has been a blessing for me. Humbling, record-breaking, financially, a new rival, got to bring out the dog. #UFC247 is what it’s all about."
