The Nevada State Athletic Commission has medically suspended 17 athletes who competed in this past Saturday’s “UFC 146: Dos Santos vs. Mir” event.
Cain Velasquez (Pictured) could be riding the pine for up to six months with a broken left hand. However, the former heavyweight champion could return to action sooner if his haymaker is not fractured and he obtains a doctor’s note.
Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva, the man who was on the receiving end of Velasquez’s fists, faces the same ban unless an X-ray proves his nose isn’t broken.
MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas hosted this past weekend’s festivities.
