These suspensions are precautionary more than anything and many times the fighters will be cleared to fight earlier with doctor’s approval. Looks like at this event the winners took the bigger punishment. Velasquez, Credeur and Blackburn especially. Looks like Anderson Silva came out healthy and may be ready to go in September.
