Loukkaantumisia:
Arlovski is suspended 45 days (with no contact allowed during training for 30 days) for precautionary reasons. He'll also need to pass a physical before he's able to return to competition.
Gilbert Yvel, who suffered a third-round TKO in a brutal co-main-event fight with Josh Barnett, is suspended 60 days (with no contact for 60 days) due to facial cuts suffered in the loss.
Matt Lindland, who suffered a swift 37-second TKO to Vitor Belfort, is suspended 45 days (no contact for 30 days). Lindland was floored with a left hand and knocked into unconsciousness with a subsequent flurry of blows. Medical officials arrived with a stretcher, but Lindland eventually left the cage under his own power. In addition to needing a new physical, Lindland needs to undergo a CT scan of his head and neck, and he must be cleared by a neurologist before he returns to competition.
Vladimir Matyushenko, who suffered a knockout loss to Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, could be suspended up to 180 days (no contact for 180 days) due to a possible fracture of his right ankle. He'll need an X-ray and physician's clearance, or the six-month suspension will be upheld. However, even if cleared from the ankle injury, Matyushenko is suspended 60 days (with no contact for 60 days) due to his facial cuts. However, like the ankle injury, he can be cleared early by a doctor. Regardless, though, he will need to serve a mandatory suspension of 45 days (no contact for 30 days) for precautionary reasons stemming from the knockout. He'll also need to pass a new physical before returning to competition.
Kiril Sidellnikov, whom Paul Buentello defeated via third-round TKO, is suspended 45 days (no contact for 30 days) for precautionary reasons. He'll need a new physical, as well.
Buentello, meanwhile, is suspended 180 days (no contact for 180 days) due to a possible fracture of his right hand. He can be cleared early following an X-ray and clearance from an orthopedic physician.

L.C. Davis, who defeated late replacement Bao Quach via unanimous decision, is suspended 60 days (no contact for 60 days) due to a cut, though he can be cleared early by a doctor.
Quach is suspended 45 days (no contact for 30 days) for precautionary reasons.
Albert Rios, who defeated Antonio Duarte via unanimous decision, is suspended 180 days (no contact for 180 days) due to a possible fracture of his right foot. He can be cleared early by an orthopedic physician if X-rays detect no serious injury.
Finally, Patrick Speight, whom Brett Cooper defeated via first-round TKO, is suspended 60 days (no contact for 60 days) due to a cut, though he can be cleared early by a doctor. However, he will serve a mandatory suspension of 45 days (no contact for 30 days) for precautionary reasons and will need a new physical.
