By Dana Becker | November 15, 2012
The UFC has released the complete list of medical suspensions for the recently-completed UFC On Fuel TV: Franklin Vs. Le event through the Association of Boxing Commissions. The card took place in China, so there was no athletic commission to oversee the event.Cung Le, who knocked out Rich Franklin in the main event, was given a 180-day suspension for his right elbow. Franklin was also handed a 180-day suspension.
As always, most of these suspensions can be reduced with clearance from a doctor. Below are the complete medical suspensions from the event:
