LAS VEGAS - Seven fighters from Saturday's UFC 130 card were given medical suspensions following their fights. The Nevada State Athletic Commission released the list of suspensions to MMA Fighting on Tuesday.The lengthiest potential suspensions went to main event and co-main event winners Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Frank Mir. Each could be out for six months unless given early clearance by doctors.
Jackson will need an x-ray on his left hand, which he said following the fight was fractured going into his bout with Matt Hamill. Failing that clearance, Jackson could be out until the end of November. Mir is in the same situation after his unanimous decision win over Roy Nelson. He'll need a doctor to sign off on his left ribs in order for him to return, or he'll be out until Nov. 25, as well.
