It appears that the loss Mark Munoz suffered at the hands of Chris Weidman at UFC on Fuel TV 4 may cost him more than a shot at the UFC middleweight title. If the medical suspension reports coming from the fight card are accurate, it may also cost him a significant amount of time on the shelf.
Also receiving a lengthy suspension, pending the outcome of an MRI/physician release, was James Te Huna. Te Huna received his injuries in a winning effort, defeating Joey Beltran via unanimous decision after landing a total of 172 strikes during their three-round battle.
