The Nevada State Athletic Commission issued medical suspensions to nine fighters from Saturdays “The Ultimate Fighter 10 Finale” event in Las Vegas.
The heaviest suspensions were handed down to Matt Hamill, Matt Mitrione, Darrill Schoonover, James McSweeney and Justin Wren who could all be out of action until June 4 (or later). A doctors medical clearance can reduce the suspension allowing the fighter to return back to action.
