Strikeforce medical suspensions and injuries for 'Rousey vs Kaufman' in San Diego

Strikeforce medical suspensions and injuries for the "Rousey vs. Kaufman" event on Aug. 18, 2012, in San Diego were released earlier today by the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) for the Showtime telecast last night at the Valley View Casino Center.

Julie Kedzie is facing 180 days on the pine unless she's cleared by a doctor for a left shoulder rotator cuff injury. She was submitted in the third round of her bantamweight battle against Miesha Tate, who will also take a 45 day vacation.

Joining them on the injured reserves is Ovince St. Preux, who is out for 180 days thanks to a thumb injury suffered in his victory over T.J. Cook, who was knocked out clean. Naturally, Cook will also be out for no less than 45 days due to the knockout but he'll also need clearance from a doctor for a possible neck injury.

But that's not all.
