The Vancouver Athletic Commission (VAC) today issued its list of medical suspensions for UFC 115: "Liddell vs. Franklin," which took place on Saturday, June 12, 2010, from the GM Place in Vancouver, British Colombia, Canada.
With several of the bouts ending early (and violently), there were a handful of fighters who were flagged follow up visits with their doctors.
Chief among them is Rich "Ace" Franklin — whose bone-crunching win over Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell left him in a pink cast. Also getting benched was Pat Barry in his loss to Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic. "HD" went home with a foot that looked like it belonged to Thunder just before he exploded in Big Trouble in Little China.
But that's not all.
