The Nevada State Athletic Commission issued eight medical suspensions from this past weekend's the "Ultimate Fighter" season 9 finale fight card.
Only two fighters that actually won their bouts were issued medical suspensions, those being Jason Dent and Brad Blackburn.
TUF 9 main event fighter Clay Guida, who was involved in an entertaining back and forth battle against Diego Sanchez, will be out until the middle of August. Co-main event participant Diego Sanchez is free to compete anytime.
The suspensions for Blackburn, Dent and Kevin Burns all require doctor's clearance. Once Blackburn, Dent and Burns get clearance, their suspensions expire and they can compete. If Burns and Blackburn aren't cleared by a doctor, their suspensions will run until December 18.
Here is the complete list of the NSAC's TUF 9 finale medical suspensions:
Clay Guida: Suspended until August 15 with no contact allowed until July 21
