Does anyone know if Jeff Monson has been suspended or is he cleared to fight? Word is he refused some of the medical tests at GFC's show this past weekend and was not allowed to fight. I had planned on watching him fight Rizzo next weekend but if he is not fighting I'll spend my money on a UFC PPV.
He probably won't fight. He pulls out of small shows alot.
Bad ass for sure. I did'nt know they Monson had a history of pulling out of smaller shows ... any examples?
Gracie Fighting Championships in Columbus. They had already printed all of the promo stuff with him on it and he pulled out last minute.
There was one shortly after that he was supposed to do and he pulled out, but I think that's because he got the Pride fight offered to him. Not sure that's why though.
I thought he had an injured shoulder???
I guess "alot" was a bit of an overstatement because those are the only two I know of personally.
I'm saving my money if Monson's not fighting the Art of War PPV show is really weak without the main event.
"I thought he had an injured shoulder???"
me too, but the next fight he booked was only like 3 weeks away. I don't know man, tickets can't be that much for that show. Why not just go and watch some mma live?
I was going to this one live but without the main event I would rather save my money and order a UFC PPV.
I was really looking forward to seeing Pedro and him fight.
Four Fighters Suspended By Mohegan
Notice that Monson is not on the list. The rumor mill worked overtime this weekend.
I guess it did.....
Four so far. Monson is supposed to be part of the "incomplete documentation." This is coming from a fighter on that fight card.
I spoke with Mike Mazzulli from the Mohegan Sun today - two times. That is the complete list submitted.
double post. sorry
Monson 4 President!

Jeff Monson is NOT suspended and will be fighting on the Art of War card next Saturday against Pedro Rizzo as planned. The events of this past Saturday have not resulted in any kind of suspension for Monson.
