The Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) today issued its medical suspensions for the WEC event that took place from "The Joint" at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Sunday, August 3, revealing that several fighters will need to take mandatory time off to lick their wounds.
Some more than others.
In fact, Hiromitsu Miura sustained "orbital blowout fractures" as a result of his four-round war with WEC Welterweight Champion Carlos Condit. That sounds excruciating.
Here’s the complete list of injuries and their medical instructions:
Carlos Condit -- "The Natural Born Killer" must serve a minimum medical suspension until September 3, 2008, and there's no contact allowed until September 25 because of left eyebrow and left lip lacerations.
Hiromitsu Miura -- The Japanese fighter must clear a nasal and left medial orbital blowout fractures with an ophthalmologist or no contest until January 31, 2009. He must serve a minimum medical suspension until September 18, 2008, and there's no contact allowed until September 3.
Brian Stann -- "All American" must serve a minimum medical suspension until September 3, 2008, and there's no contact allowed until September 25.
Marcus Hicks -- "Wrecking Ball" must serve a minimum medical suspension until September 18, 2008, and there's no contact allowed until September 3.
Micah Miller -- The American Top Team (ATT) product must serve a minimum medical suspension until September 3, 2008, and there's no contact allowed until September 25.
Carlo Prater -- He must serve a minimum medical suspension until September 18, 2008, and there's no contact allowed until September 3.
David Terrel -- He must serve a minimum medical suspension until September 3, 2008, and there's no contact allowed until September 25.
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.
