Njokuani out for the rest of the year due to a leg bruise and a chipped tooth? LOL

3

Anyone know to what degree these suspensions are enforced? Are they only enforced for the big shows? Only in the same state?

It's total horseshit if they actually prevent a fighter from fighting anywhere for an entire fucking year. You're making 4/4k and a bunch of cunty old farts decide your chipped tooth means it's time to find a day job? Please say it ain't so.

 Title should say 'medical suspensions' imo.

ZIPPY -  Title should say 'medical suspensions' imo.



 Agreed, lots of attention whoring thread titles in here.  In OP's defense though, most of us who have been fans for a while know that right after an event there is a laundry list of medicals handed out and are expecting it.  This one isn't even that bad really, especially considering all the KO's at 132.  Woober most of these suspensions will be lifted in a month or so after a doctor has given clearance.

I thought leben said he broke his nose but hes not on the list at all

This happens every time: med suspensions are announced, then noobs loose their minds overreacting. Phone Post

But how is Njokuani going to fight with a chipped tooth?!?!

10

Njokuani is likely suspended that long for the lower leg contusion (not the tooth). probably from a checked kick and they want to make sure there isn't a fracture.

 Brian didn't break his hand.
