UFC 199, which went down last weekend (Sat., June 4, 2016) from The Forum in Inglewood, California, turned out to be a fantastic night of fights that boasted a plethora of electrifying finishes.
Unfortunately, all of the fighters weren’t able to make it out of the event unscathed, as the medical suspensions released by the California State Athletic Commission (via MMAFighting.com) were revealed.
The most notable suspension was a six-month suspension handed out to Hector “Lightning” Lombard who suffered a brutal knockout loss to aging veteran Dan Henderson on the main card.
Lombard lied motionless on the canvas for minutes after the stoppage, and was immediately rushed to a hospital in the aftermath of the bout. Typically, fighters can be cleared by a doctor prior to the six-month mark, but “Lightning” has actually been given a full mandatory six-month stint with no exceptions:
“No exception for prolong recovery from KO,” the document read.
