The show has 2 round amatuer type fights(thats why win/loss isn't on your rrecord). They don't hand out suspensions, if a guy's hurt bad enough he gets pulled from show. Last season the one guy jacked his finger badly. It wasn't broken just dislocated so he got to tape it up and fight. If that same injury would have happened in a UFC event he would have probably got a 30 day min suspension no contact. Andy Ogle didn't get to fight in finale because he just got knocked out. It wasn't that he was suspended, he just wasn't cleared to fight by the commission again so soon.
