Potential ribs injury
Dobson is facing a six-month medical suspension due to a potential ribs injury following her UFC on ESPN 15 victory over Mariya Agapova, Farah Hannoun of MMAJunkie.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Dobson was the only fighter on the card to receive the maximum suspension, so she could be facing an extended absence unless an X-ray of her ribs is cleared earlier by an orthopedic doctor. She'll also be facing a minimum suspension of 30 days following the biggest win of her professional career.

Pulls off legendary upset
Dobson defeated Mariya Agapova via TKO (strikes) at 1:38 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It's one of the biggest upsets in company history. Dobson probably should have been handed her walking papers following a third straight defeat the past February. The UFC decided to give her another shot and she responded with a stunning, monumental upset. According to the Vegas odds, Dobson's victory as a +800 underdog was the biggest upset since Holly Holm defeated Ronda Rousey back in November 2015. Dobson isn't going to overwhelm anyone with power or athletic ability, but Agapova fought foolishly and Dobson made her pay for it. It's Dobson's first victory since December 2017 and improves her career record to .500 (4-4). She'll also walk away with a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus for her efforts.
