WEC 45 medical suspensions and injuries for 'Cerrone vs Ratcliff'

The Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) today issued its list of medical suspensions for WEC 45: Cerrone vs. Ratcliff," which took place on Saturday, Dec. 19 from "The Pearl" at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.

With several of the bouts ending via TKO stoppage, there were quite a few fighters who were flagged follow up visits with their doctors. Chief among them are Chris Horodecki (orbital/sinus fracture) — who went ass over tin cups courtesy of Anthony Njokuani's high kick  — and John Hosman (possible nasal fracture) -- who dropped a unanimous decision to Chad George on the preliminary card..

Ed Ratcliff was suspended until Jan. 19 for precautionary reasons -- and to give him ample time to get his popper knockers reattached after Donald Cerrone's knees put them on layaway. 

But that's not all.

Here is the complete list of WEC 45 injuries and their medical instructions:

Ed Ratcliff: Suspended until Jan. 19 with no contact until Jan. 10 for precautionary reasons
