As one would expect from an event that had two “Fight of the Night” bouts, there have been some medical suspensions handed out to some of the fighters from this past Saturday’s UFC 116 event.
If cleared by a doctor prior to the end of suspension period, a fighter may resume training and fight in competition. The list of suspensions includes:
Krzysztof Soszynski: must have his left thumb cleared by doctor or suspended until Dec. 31; minimum suspension runs until Sept. 2 with no contact until Aug. 18
Chris Tuchscherer: must have left …

Nate “Rock” Quarry and his opponent for UFC 91, Demian Maia, have both tested clean for banned substances.
Both fighters join the list of Randy Couture, Brock Lesnar, Amir Sadollah (withdrew due to injury), Nick Catone, Jorge Gurgel, Aaron Riley, Mark Bocek and Alvin Robinson, all of whom passed pre-event drug tests administered by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
These preliminary tests have been used to prevent the possibility of “cycling off” steroids and other banned substances.
