The $400,000 salary Brock Lesnar “earned” this Saturday at UFC 121 will have to tide him over for about 6 months as he received 180 day medical suspension for eye injuries, with a simultaneous 60 days of medical suspension served for facial lacerations.

Welterweight title “contender” Jake Shields was also given a 180 day medical suspension which could place help or hinder his expected title-shot fight against the winner of Koscheck Vs. GSP. Though Shields won a split decision over Martin Kampmann at UFC 121, he is unsure at this point if Dana White will still offer him the winner of the UFC 124 Welterweight Championship fight, after his lackluster UFC debut which exposed holes in his cardio. However, Shields has stated he would like to fight George St. Pierre regardless of the outcome.

I would much rather take it from GSP because he’s the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world right now, in my opinion. Koscheck is a phenomenal fighter, but right now it’s a little more prestigious to beat GSP.
