The Oregon State Athletic Commission today issued its list of medical suspensions for UFC 102, which took place on Saturday, August 29 from The Rose Garden in Portland, Oregon.
As standard practice for combat sports in “The Beaver State,” all 22 fighters were issued medical suspensions for their participation in the “Couture vs. Nogueira” pay-per-view event.
While everyone got a mandatory time-out, most of the suspensions were only for seven days as a precautionary measure.
UFC middleweight Ed Herman got the stiffest sentence, getting suspended indefinitely after blowing out his knee in the second round against Aaron Simpson.
Other notable and lengthy health-related suspensions were dished out to Tim Hague (60 days) for being put to sleep by Todd Duffee and Chris Tuchscherer (45 days) for his facial laceration suffered at the hands of Gabriel Gonzaga.
Here is the complete list of UFC 102 injuries and their medical instructions:
Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira — 30-day suspension for precautionary reasons

Nogueira defeated Couture via unanimous decision
Thiago Silva — Seven-day mandatory minimum suspension
