UFC 104 Medical Suspensions

While UFC president Dana White proudly declared that none of this past Saturday's UFC 104: Machida vs Shogun contestants were forced to visit the hospital following the event, that doesn't mean everyone came out 100 percent healthy.

UFC 104: Machida vs Shogun's "Knockout of the Night" and "Fight of the Night" winner Patrick Barry was suspended by the California State Athletic Commission for up to 180 days unless cleared by a physician for a possible fracture of his left wrist.

MMA Junkie recently requested and receive the medical suspension information, which also included lesser orders for six other fighters.

Barry's opponent, Antoni Hardonk, was also suspended for 45 days – including 30 days with no contact – based on the result of the contest.

Main-event winner Lyoto Machida – who earned a unanimous-decision win over Mauricio "Shogun" Rua – was suspended for 60 days, including 60 days without contact, for a left upper-lip laceration.

Adding fuel to the "Rua won" fire, "Shogun" was not issued any suspension.

Heavyweight Ben Rothwell received a pair of suspensions following his loss to Cain Velasquez. Rothwell received a 45-day suspension (30 days no contact) for suffering a TKO loss, as well as a 60-day suspension (60 days no contact) for a right-eye laceration.
