UFC On FOX 12 Medical Suspensions

The medical suspensions list resulting from this past weekend’s UFC On FOX 12 event has been released and shows that headliner Matt Brown is one of four fighters facing six months on the sidelines as a result of injuries they sustained during their fights.

Brown broke his nose and suffered lacerations during a hard fought encounter with Robbie Lawler in the main event which he’d go on to lose by unanimous decision.

Meanwhile, Tim Means is believed to have fractured one of his fingers, Gilbert Burns broke his right thumb and Andreas Stahl has suspected fractures to his left cheek and nasal area which means they will also be medically suspended for the next 180 days unless cleared earlier by a doctor.

Over the years I've watched the UFC develop into the powerhouse it is today, organizations like PRIDE, Strikeforce and WEC rise and fall, and Bellator emerge as a new force on the MMA landscape. Throughout it all I've remained captivated by the sport and I'm excited to cover what comes next here on MMA Insight.
