Strikeforce medical suspensions and injuries for "Feijao vs. Henderson" on March 5 in Columbus were released earlier today by the Ohio Athletic Commission (OAC) for the Showtime telecast held last Saturday night at the Nationwide Arena in conjunction with the Arnold Fitness Expo.
Newly-crowned Light Heavyweight Champion Dan Henderson stripped opponent Rafael Cavalcante of his 205-pound belt, as well as the ability to compete for sixty days after being victimized by "Hendo's" H-bomb.
Also getting knocked off kilter was J.P. Felty, who joins "Feijao" on the 60-day suspension list while Jorge Masvidal, Billy Evangelista, Jason Riley, and Ian Rammel were all shut down indefinitely.
But that's not all
Here are the complete Strikeforce: "Feijao vs. Henderson" medical suspensions and injuries (via MMA Weekly):
