UFC 107 Medical Suspensions, Several Fighters Out For A While

From MMAJunkie:

  • Diego Sanchez: Suspended 60 days with no contact for 60 days and must undergo a CT scan and be cleared by a doctor
  • Frank Mir: Suspended three days with no contact for three days for precautionary reasons
  • Cheick Kongo: Suspended three days with no contact for three days for precautionary reasons 
  • Jon Fitch: Suspended 60 days with no contact for 60 days for precautionary reasons but can be cleared early by a doctor
  • Kenny Florian: Suspended 60 days with no contact for 45 days due to a cut but can be cleared early by a doctor
  • Clay Guida: Suspended 180 days with no contact for 180 days due to a possible eye injury but can be cleared early by an ophthalmologist; regardless, suspended 45 days with no contact for 30 days for precautionary reasons unless cleared early by a doctor
  • Paul Buentello: Suspended indefinitely until ribs X-rayed and cleared by a doctor; regardless, suspended 30 days with no contact for 21 days for precautionary reasons
  • Alan Belcher: Suspended 30 days with no contact for 21 days for precautionary reasons
  • Wilson Gouveia: Suspended 45 days with no contact for 30 days for precautionary reasons; can be cleared early by a doctor
  • Matt Wiman: Suspended 180 days with no contact for 180 days due to a possible right injury but can be X-rayed and cleared early by a doctor; regardless, suspended 30 days with no contact for 21 days for precautionary reasons
  • Shane Nelson: Suspended 14 days with no contact for 14 days due to a cut but can be cleared early by a doctor
  • Johny Hendricks: Suspended three days with no contact for three days for precautionary reasons
  • Ricardo Funch: Suspended 45 days with no contact for 30 days for precautionary reasons but can be cleared early by a doctor
  • Rousimar Palhares: Suspended three days with no contact for three days for precautionary reasons
  • Lucio Linhares: Suspended three days with no contact for three days for precautionary reasons
  • DaMarques Johnson: Suspended three days with no contact for three days for precautionary reasons
  • Edgar Garcia: Suspended 30 days with no contact for 21 days for precautionary reasons but can be cleared early by a doctor
  • Kevin Burns: Suspended 45 days with no contact for 30 days for precautionary reasons
  • As stated, some of the fighters can be cleared by a doctory beforehand without having to serve the entire suspension. So some may be back in training and scheduled to fight again pretty soon barring any major setbacks.  It looks like Matt Wiman, Paul Buentello, and Clay Guida have the potential to be out of action the longest.  Amazingly, Diego Sanchez is only out for 60 days even though it looked as if he took the absolute worst beating on the entire card that was aired.

    Hey, why did Kongo only get 3 days for getting knocked on his ass and strangled unconcious?

    Bloody hell.

    because they already know he won’t be getting any fights any time soon

    All commissions are different

    Remember, this was the first time that the UFC had gone to Tennessee…and I’ve never seen the 3 day precautionary stuff before…I’m asssuming Kongo only got 3 days because he didn’t get knocked unconscious with the punch….the choke…while he went unconscious is thought to be harmless for the most part.

    Forget Kongo

    At least Kongo took a shot and passed out, why is MIR suspended? He didn’t do anything he doesn’t do in practice, and it looked like his hand was OK after that shot.
