Despite eight finishes and a pair of five-round title fights, it appears the fighters of Bellator 145 emerged relatively unscathed from the Nov. 6 show.
Only four of the card’s 26 competitors were served with medical suspensions by the Missouri Office of Athletics, which on Monday released event information from the Spike TV-broadcast card at Scottrade Center in St. Louis.

English heavyweight James Thompson also came up short in his rematch with Bobby Lashley, and “The Colossus” will spend a month on the sideline after suffering a 54-second technical knockout. Thompson won the pair’s first meeting via three-round decision in a 2012 bout for India’s Super Fight League.
Also dealt 30-day suspensions were former “Ultimate Fighter” competitor Adam Cella, who was stopped in the third round by Chel Erwin-Davis, and featherweight Brandon Lowe, who was TKO’d by Rashard Lovelace.
