UFC 103 medical suspensions and injuries

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation today issued its list of medical suspensions for UFC 103, which took place on Saturday, September 19 from The American Airlines Center in Dallas.

It was a wash across the board for "The Lone Star State," as all 26 fighters were issued medical suspensions for their participation in the "Franklin vs. Belfort" pay-per-view event.

While everyone got a mandatory time-out, most of the suspensions were only for seven days as a precautionary measure.

Former PRIDE star Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic got the stiffest penalty, getting suspended indefinitely after throwing in the towel against Junior Dos Santos in the third round of their heavyweight affair.

Other notable suspensions were dished out to Rich Franklin, Martin Kampmann, Frank Trigg, Hermes Franca and Cole Miller -- all of whom were on the receiving end of TKO stoppages.

Each of those fighters will join Steve Lopez on the sidelines until October 20. Lopez injured his shoulder in his UFC debut against Jim Miller, bringing a halt to the contest at just under a minute of the second round.
