UFC 154 Medical Suspensions: Cote and Kampmann Given Most Time off

On Saturday, UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre was late getting to the UFC 154 post-fight press conference. Perhaps his delay was caused by the difficulty he must have had in picking out what suit to wear before the assembled media. After all, what goes with purple, black, red, orange, yellow and blue? 

Those varied colors covered St-Pierre’s swollen head when he sat down at the dais with an ice pack held to his face. St-Pierre would go on to describe that bruised melon as being shaped like an American football (per Yahoo! Sports) after getting punched and kicked multiple times over the course of 25 minutes by the man he defeated to become the undisputed welterweight champion, Carlos Condit.

By no means did Condit walk out of the fight unscathed, but to see St-Pierre in that type of shape was shocking—especially for a fighter who has largely been able to avoid the attempts of his opponents to touch him up.

When the medical suspensions were handed down for UFC 154, it was no shock to see St-Pierre listed among those with a nice bit of mandated time off. And good for him. After all, he did mention at the post-fight presser that he wanted to take some time off to vacation (per MMAFighting.com) after winning his 10th consecutive fight inside the Octagon.
