All fighters on Sunday’s WEC 49 card in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, received medical suspensions from the Edmonton Combative Sports Commission.

MMA Fighting received the list of suspensions in an e-mail from Pat Reid, the commission’s executive director.

Main event lightweights Jamie Varner and Kamal Shalorus, who battled to a controversial draw, both received indefinite suspensions due to broken bones. Varner will need a doctor’s clearance before he can fight again, plus X-rays on his broken right hand and right foot, not to mention a clean bill of health on his left ribs. Shalorus will also need a doctor’s clearance before his next fight and X-rays on both hands and his lower right leg.
