Why in the world is Carwin’s suspension longer than Brock? Brock took a beating while Carwin tapped before being choked out. Hell, his suspension is as long as Dave Branchs’… who was ktfo after being slammed.

Makes no sense to me, these suspensions.

Some Athletic boards give as long a suspension to chokes as to KOs

   He may have told the doctor he went out for a second as he tapped from the choke, and though a Choke and impact KO are worlds apart in recovery and long term effects, athletic boards are chocked full of people with ZERO combat sports experience, so……..

Yeah its just a standard time frame applied regardless of the severity of the incident.
