The California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) today issued its medical suspensions for Elite XC: "Unfinished Business," which took place on Saturday, July 26 at the Stockton Arena in Stockton, California.
Half of the twenty two man fight card made the list, including main event winner and middleweight champ, Robbie Lawler, who sustained a nasty gash on the top of his head that will keep him sidelined for a while.
Light heavyweight fighter, Travis Galbraith, showed up with a possible broken rib suffered at the hands (or knees more likely) of Rafael Feijao. He'll be out for six months unless he can get the injury cleared before then.
Here’s the complete list of injuries and their medical instructions:
Brandon Tarn -– Tarn is suspended for 60 days for a forehead laceration and there is no contact allowed during that time.
Drew Montgomery -– Montgomery is suspended for 60 days for a left eye laceration and cannot have contact during that time.
Mike Cook –- Cook is suspended for 60 days for a right lateral knee injury. No contact is allowed during that time. A mandatory 45 day suspension with 30 days of no contact for suffering a TKO is included in the 60 days.
Wilson Reis –- Reis is suspended for 60 days for a scalp laceration. No contact is permitted during that time.
Travis Galbraith -– Galbraith is suspended for 180 days with no contact, or until he can get clearance from a doctor concerning a possible broken rib. A mandatory 45 day suspension with 30 days of no contact for suffering a TKO is included in the suspension.
Justin Eilers -- Eilers is suspended for 45 days because of a TKO. There is no contact allowed for 30 days.
Shayna Baszler -– Baszler is suspended for 45 days because of a TKO. There is no contact allowed for 30 days.

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.
