The Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) recently issued its list of medical suspensions for UFC 94: "St. Pierre vs. Penn 2," which took place on Saturday, Jan. 31 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
With eight of the 10 fights going to decisions, there was not as much post-event carnage on this card than in recent past (See UFC Fight Night 26). In fact, welterweight Chris Wilson is the only fighter who appears to have sustained a major physical injury (broken nose).
Lightweight champion BJ Penn and the previously undefeated Thiago Silva are other notable competitors who popped up on the report. Both fighters appeared to endure the most damage of the night in their respective bouts.
Here are the rest of the UFC 94 injuries and their medical instructions:
BJ Penn -- "Prodigy" is suspended until March 18 and no contact until March 3.
Thiago Silva -- The Brazilian is suspended until March 18 and no contact until March 3.
Stephan Bonnar -- The "American Psycho" is suspended until March 3 and no contact until February 22 because of a scalp laceration.
Akihiro Gono -- The Japanese entertainer is suspended until March 3 and no contact until February 22
Chris Wilson -- The Team Quest fighter must have a broken nose cleared by a physician or he will be on the shelf until July 31. He is not allowed to have contact until March 3.
Just a quick reminder: Fighters often return to action much quicker once doctors give them the green light. The lengthy suspensions are just a precaution in most cases.

Its incredible the number of cheap shots BJ is taking by all of these keyboard warriors.
Did GSP get this much hate when he tapped out due to strikes from Serra?

Yes he did OJR! Every time a GSP thread came up 80% of bloggers called him a “mental midget” Kevin even goes as far as to call him “g@y” So Penn getting alittle bashed is well deserved!

Damn! I never hate on fighters for getting their @ss whooped. It happens!

BJ is fair game cause he talked so much trash and GSP is the nicest guy in the sport.

exactly pug… if GSP woulda been talking a bunch of smack about serra before the fight he woulda taken the same amount of heat, and what makes you call any of us keyboard warriors? what are your credentials tough guy?

I wonder what the actual injury is for some of them. It only says the suspension time
by DZZ on Feb 3, 2009 11:20 AM EST reply actions
its for lacerations and stuff. broken bones are listed

Its the standard amount of time (4-6 weeks)for getting your a** handed to you. No specific injury needed.
by DSmith on Feb 3, 2009 12:14 PM EST up reply actions
That is odd, because there IS a standard 30 day suspension if you get KO’d or TKO’d, but Thiago Silva was the only one to truely get KO’d, and BJ got TKO’d.

BJ from “foot stuck so far in mouth it appeared to exit from his fat ass syndrom” common among blow heart’s and loud mouth bullie’s.

Who do you guys think jon jones should fight next? i’m thinking luis cain. winner gets to fight a top ten.
by doomdoom on Feb 3, 2009 12:41 PM EST reply actions
Jones/Cain would be cool but I think either is ready for a stiffer challenge….maybe Jones/Forrest and Cain/???
by McArthur on Feb 3, 2009 12:45 PM EST up reply actions
Jones Vs. Hammil! I want to see Hammil get thrown around!
by john on Feb 3, 2009 12:57 PM EST up reply actions
Nice call but I see Jones outstriking Hammil. I think Hammil is too strong in his wrestling to get tossed around.
by OJR on Feb 3, 2009 1:11 PM EST up reply actions
I dont care how he does it, I just want JOnes to beat matt Hammiuls ass down to the under card! nothing worse then a matt Hammil being aired on a ppv card!

Am I the only one on this site that knows that Banha Cain is booked to fight steve Cantwell at UFC 97?
by john on Feb 3, 2009 7:18 PM EST up reply actions
I think Luiz Cane (Banha) is way to much of a step in class for Jon Jones. Not dissing Jones,I just think Banha would derail the Jon Jones express, thus maybe stunting his MMA growth. JMO.
by Couchchamp on Feb 3, 2009 1:26 PM EST up reply actions
I think Luiz Cane is way to big of a step up in class for Jones. IMO Banha would derail the Jon Jones express, thus maybe stunting Jones’s MMA progress. JMO.

I wanted to say forest but thought people would think i was nuts. boner is ranked 12 or 13 lhw so where does jones go from there after just his second ufc fight? cain makes the most sense.
by doomdoom on Feb 3, 2009 12:59 PM EST reply actions
John- i agree jones vs hamil would be nice. jones is a better everything than hamil.
by doomdoom on Feb 3, 2009 1:03 PM EST reply actions
It should be cain vs jardine. jones vs hamil. and page machida.
by doomdoom on Feb 3, 2009 1:06 PM EST reply actions
Page doesn’t deserve Machida. Machida vs Evans enough of this crap. The tit twisting moron doesn’t have a chance in hell of beating the Dragon!!!!!

I’ve tried to reply to a certain post, but my reply never comes up. But as far as Jon Jones Vs Luiz Cane. IMO. Luiz cane is way to big of a step up in class for Jones. Not hating on Jones either. I think Banha would derail the Jon Jones express, thus maybe stunting Jones’s MMA growth.
by Couchchamp on Feb 3, 2009 1:36 PM EST reply actions
Good point couch champ. i said the same thing when he fought bonner. so jones vs hamill and banha vs franklin?
