The California State Athletic Commission recently released a full list of medical suspensions to MMAFighting.com. Bellator 170 took place at the Forum in Los Angeles this past Saturday and saw Tito Ortiz submit Chael Sonnen with a rear-naked choke in the first round of their light heavyweight headlining bout. Both Ortiz and Sonnen received mandatory seven-day medical suspensions.
Also of note, preliminary fighter Christian
Gonzalez was handed an indefinite suspension for an unreported
stab wound prior to the fight and for chest pain. Gonzalez suffered
a second-round technical knockout loss against Daniel
Rodriguez in the first bout of the evening.
Additionally, four fighters from Bellator 170 received potential six-month layoffs: Derek Anderson (tooth), Jamar Ocampo (jaw/rib), Rob Gooch (wrist) and Jack May (forearm).
