UFC 181 last weekend put on quite a show this past Saturday in Las Vegas Nevada, headlined by not just one but two title fights. However, now it is time assess the damage that was done. The Nevada Athletic Commission on Monday released its list of medical suspensions from UFC 181. Anthony Pettis successfully defeated his belt for the first time against Gilbert Melendez putting on a spectacular performance earning the fight of the night bonus, defeating Melendez in the second round. Pettis could now be looking at being out up to 6 months depending on a left hand X-ray. Johny Hendricks took on “The ruthless” Robbie Lawler in hopes of defending his Welterweight belt but however was unsuccessful losing the belt in a split decision loss. Hendricks will now be suspended until January 6th with no contact until December 28th. Urijah Faber had a controversial win in the prelims, after an eye poke went unnoticed by the referee that quickly led to a submission win over Riveria. Riveria will be suspended until June 6th for a laceration on left eye or until cleared by an ophthalmologist. Josh Samman earned himself a performance of the night with a brutal head kick knocking Eddie “The Truck” Gordon out cold. Eddie Gordon must pass a post-concussive clearance from a neurologist or sports medicine doctor prior to starting contact training.
