UFC on FOX 10 medical suspensions: Adriano Martins among four fighters given extra terms
After being on the receiving end of a devastating head kick, UFC lightweight Adriano Martins not surprisingly was given the most serious medical suspension arising from UFC on FOX 10.
Martins, who was knocked out by Donald Cerrone on this past Saturday’s FOX-televised event, is benched for 90 days with 60 days no contact, according to the Illinois Department of Financial & Professional Regulation, which today provided medical suspensions to MMAjunkie.
UFC on FOX 10 took place at Chicago’s United Center. The event’s main card aired live on FOX following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.
In total, four fighters on the card received more significant suspensions than the remaining 18, who received mandatory 15-day terms.
Not on the list was main-event lightweight Josh Thomson, who came to the post-event news conference with his right arm in a sling and his right hand bandaged after saying he broke his thumb during the first round against Benson Henderson. Also absent from the official list sent by the state was co-main event heavyweight Gabriel Gonzaga, who tweeted news of a broken hand that would require surgery.
Mike Rio, who was knocked out by a wheel kick on the prelims, is suspended for 45 days with 30 days no contact.
After a second-round TKO loss to Eddie Wineland, Yves Jabouin received the same term.
Additionally, heavyweight Walter Harris, who was the first of three fighters on the card to be stopped via head kick, received a 45-day suspension with 30 days no contact.
