All fighters from the Dec. 10 card received suspensions of at least 14 days.

UFC 140 took place at Toronto's Air Canada Centre, and every bout aired or streamed as part of the night's pay-per-view, ION Television and Facebook specials. The event marked the UFC's second-ever trip to Toronto.

Nogueira's 60-day suspension came as a result of what was first diagnosed as a dislocated shoulder. The injury ultimately proved to be a broken arm, a result of a nasty kimura finish by Frank Mir. Despite the horrific nature of the injury, UFC officials have since revealed Nogueira will not require surgery, and doctors are optimistic he may return in as little as nine months.

Ortiz needs a chest X-ray and an abdominal ultrasound before he returns to action, and Hominick has been asked to undergo an MRI or CT scan after his TKO loss to Chan Sung Jung.

The full list of UFC 140 medical suspensions includes:

Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira: Suspended 60 days due to submission loss; needs clearance from orthopedic surgeon

Big Nog is going to be gone for a long time after that finish and I wonder what shape he will be in in a year's time. Going to be tough for him to come back from this.
