The California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) today issued its list of medical suspensions for the Strikeforce: "Diaz vs. Cyborg" event that took place this past Saturday night (Jan. 29) at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California.
With several of the bouts ending early (and violently), there were a handful of fighters who were flagged follow up visits with their doctors.
Chief among them is Robbie Lawler, who put forth a valiant effort against jiu-jitsu ace Ronaldo Souza but fell to the Brazilian's crafty submission game in the third round. While it appeared "Ruthless" may have done some damage to "Jacare" in the opening frame, it looks as though he may have done more to himself, as he's been flagged for a visit to his doctor for a possible foot fracture.
Also getting benched for some in-cage punishment was Scott Carson, who once again reminded us that it's never a good idea to stop someone's fists with your face. His knockout at the hands of Herschel Walker has forced him out for a minimum of 30 days. He'll also need a new physical.
But that's not all.

Charlene Gellner: Suspended 45 day (30 no contact) and needs a new physical.

Just a quick reminder: Fighters often return to action much quicker once doctors give them the green light. The lengthy suspensions are just a precaution in most cases.
