The Washington State Department of Licensing issued its list of medical suspensions for the UFC Fight Night 24: "Nogueira vs. Davis" event that took place on March 26, 2011, at the KeyArena in Seattle, Washington.
All fighters participating on the card were given a mandatory week off for their work in the Octagon.
A few fighters were handed much longer layoffs, however, and chief among them is bantamweight scrapper Michael McDonald, who was handed an indefinite suspension for his balls-to-the-wall war against the debuting Edwin Figueroa on the Facebook broadcasted portion of the preliminary card.
Kris McCray was also given an extended vacation, as he received a 42-day suspension following his split decision defeat at the hands of British striker John Hathaway.
But that's not all.
Here is the complete list of UFC Fight Night 24 medical suspensions (via Heavy.com):
Michael McDonald -- Suspended indefinitely.
Kris McCray -- Suspended 42 days.
Nik Lentz -- Suspended 42 days.
Mario Miranda -- Suspended 30 days.
