According to the Nevada State Athletic Commission’s list of medical suspensions issued after Saturday’s Ultimate Fighter 8 finale, newly-minted light-heavyweight winner Ryan Bader may not be immediately ready to begin his post-TUF career in the UFC due to a possible injury to his right hand. Bader must get the hand x-rayed and cleared by a doctor; without an official go-ahead, he’ll be out of action until June 9th.
Kevin Burns — who should just be happy to still be breathing after being knocked half-dead by a vicious Anthony Johnson head-kick — has to serve a mandatory suspension until February 9th with no contact until January 25th for possible left-orbital and left-ankle fractures. If his injuries aren’t cleared by a doctor, he could also be out until June 9th. Six other fighters from the event also took home medical suspensions — details are after the jump.
Vinny Magalhaes: Suspended until January 14th with no contact until January 5th (precautionary reasons)
Jason MacDonald: Suspended until January 14th with no contact until January 5th (forehead laceration)
Dave Kaplan: Suspended until January 25th with no contact until January 14th (lacerations near right eye)
Shane Primm: Possible suspension until June 9th due to left shoulder injury. Mandatory suspension until January 14th with no contact until January 5th.
Jules Bruchez: Suspended until January 14th with no contact until January 5th (laceration under left eye)
Tom Lawlor: Possible suspension until June 9th due to left hand injury. Mandatory suspension until January 25th with no contact until January 14th.
