The Comissão Atlética Brasileira de MMA (CABMMA) has medically suspended all 24 athletes who competed in Saturday’s “UFC Fight Night: Belfort vs. Henderson” event.
The majority of the roster received mandatory 14-day bans, with no contact for seven days. However, Brandon Thatch (pictured) and Rony Jason could be riding the pine for up to six months.
Thatch needs to have his ankle and shoulder examined before returning to action, while Jason punched a wall backstage after his loss KO to Jeremy Stephens and needed to be transported to the hospital to stitch up the gash. True story.
