After UFC Rio, an event that took place last Saturday (27) in Rio de Janeiro, the athletes who participated in the show underwent tests to evaluate possible injuries. As there are no Athletic Commissions in Brazil, those who sanctioned the event were the organization's own doctors.
After being knocked out by Mauricio Shogun, the former champion Forrest griffin got the biggest hook on the card. The American is out of the Octagon until January 27th of next year or until he presents tests that prove recovery from his injuries.
In addition to the North American, three other fighters could be sidelined until January 2012: Stanislav Nedkov, Raphael Assunção and Ian Loveland, who also need to present exams for the entity.
