The Nevada State Athletic Commission today issued out seven medical suspensions to fighters who competed on the UFC 108 fight card. The event took place this past Saturday on Jan. 2 from The MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
From the list of UFC 108 fighters issued medical suspensions, only two were victorious; those being including main card fighter Sam Stout and preliminary card fighter Mark Munoz.
Surprisingly, main event fighters Rashad Evans and Thiago Silva were not issued medical suspensions; this despite numerous reports that Evans entered the bout with a hamstring injury and Silva went into the fight with a back injury.
UFC 108 co-headliner Dustin Hazelett, who suffered a brutal first-round knockout loss at the heavy hands of British fighter Paul Daley, could be facing a lengthy suspension (July 2, 2010) unless his right orbital blowout/nasal fracture is cleared by a ENT doctor.
Mark Munoz also faces a lengthy medical suspension that requires a doctor's clearance. He suffered a right hand/wrist injury during his impressive first-round submission-by-punches win over Ryan Jensen. Once Munoz gets clearance, his suspensions will lifted and he'll be free to resume competing. If he is not cleared by a doctor his suspension will run until July 2, 2010.
Here is the complete list of the NSAC's UFC 108 medical suspensions:
Dustin Hazelett: Suspended until July 2 due to right orbital blowout and nasal fractures but a ENT doctor can clear him to return sooner; No contest until at least March 4 with no contact allowed until Feb. 2.
Sam Stout: Suspended until Feb. 2 with no contact allowed until Jan. 23 due to left forehead laceration
Gilbert Yvel: Suspended until Feb. 2 with no contact allowed until Jan. 23
