Diego Sanchez and Martin KampmannAfter their bloody battle in the main event of UFC on Versus 3 on Thursday, Diego Sanchez and Martin Kampmann will need medical clearance before getting back to work.

The Kentucky Boxing and Wrestling Authority confirmed with MMA Fighting on Monday that Sanchez, who won an instantly controversial unanimous decision, and Kampmann were both given indefinite medical suspensions following their fight. Sanchez needs to have his left orbital cleared by a doctor. Kampmann will need approval given on his right hand.

After the fight, Kampmann said he thought his hand was broken. But he posted on his Twitter feed on Friday that a doctor told him after the fight it was not – meaning his suspension could be lifted in short order.

Mark MunozLOUISVILLE, Ky. – Mark Munoz has never been shy about saying his standup is far from the best part of his MMA game – odd for a guy who had finished nearly half his fights courtesy of his hands.

Maybe he’ll start giving them a little more credit now. Thursday night in the co-main event of the UFC on Versus 3 card, Munoz needed just 54 seconds – and three big bombs – to shut down CB Dollaway.

“I’ve been working just strictly on my hands and on my standup,” Munoz said after the fight. “I’ve been working with my coaches, Abel Nunez and Rafael Cordeiro – I know I have power in my hands and if I touch you, you feel it.”

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – When both the winner and loser wind up at the hospital after their main event, it’s pretty hard to argue against Fight of the Night.

Diego Sanchez and Martin Kampmann slugged their way to a bloody 29-28 unanimous decision for Sanchez to close out the UFC’s debut in Kentucky, UFC on Versus 3, on Thursday. When the scores were read, many in the crowd appeared to be stunned at the decision. But perhaps no one was more surprised than Kampmann.

“Yes I did – I thought I won the fight,” Kampmann told Joe Rogan after the fight. “I think I won all three rounds. If you take a look at his face … I definitely feel I won the fight. I was throwing way more clean shots. Diego’s a tough warrior, but I’m very disappointed.”
