How many of you MMA fans out there knew that the UFC issued Medical suspensions? What is a medical suspension you ask, we'll it's when a fighter is suspended from fighting for a period of time determined by the amount of damaged sustained during a fight.
Here is a link to BJ Penn's site with the list of medical suspensions from UFC 117. This should put things into perspective for you. Especially for those of you who were wondering why you sometimes don't see fighters fight for long periods between fights. Take a look at Anderson Silva's suspensions, 180 days, that's six months. No rematch, no title fights for at least 18 months. Check it out for yourself.
