After last weekend's Pride 33, already being called one of the best MMA events ever, eight fighters were medically suspended by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. Under such suspensions, the fighters cannot fight anywhere in the world without facing possible discplinary action. This puts a damper on upcoming Pride fights as some of these men are Pride's biggest draws.
Here are the fighters and their suspensions:
-Nick Diaz has been medically suspended for six months (until August 24th) due to an injured and possibly broken orbital bone (the orbital bone is the bone that surrounds the eye socket). If Diaz is medically cleared before then, his minimum suspension would still last through April 26th.
-Dan Henderson has been medically suspended for six months (until August 24th) due to a broken second metacarpal in his right hand. If Henderson is medically cleared before then, his minimum suspension would still last through April 11th.
-Mac Danzig has been medically suspended for six months (until August 24th) due to an injured and possibly broken left thumb. If Danzig is medically cleared before then, his minimum suspension would still last through April 11th.
-Takanori Gomi has been medically suspended for six weeks (until April 11th) due to damage sustained in his submission loss.
-Wanderlei Silva has been medically suspended for six weeks (until April 11th) due to damage sustained in his KO loss.
-Alistair Overeem has been medically suspended for six weeks (until April 11th) due to damage sustained in his KO loss.
-Antonio Rogerio Nogueira has been medically suspended for six weeks (until April 11th) due to damage sustained in his KO loss.
-Jason Ireland has been medically suspended for six weeks (until April 11th) due to damage sustained in his submission loss.
-Travis Wiuff has been medically suspended for four weeks (until March 27th) due to damage sustained in his submission loss.
