UFC 166 Medical Suspensions: Dos Santos Out Indefinitely, Velasquez May Have Broken Jaw

ByRory Kernaghan

UFC 166 delivered in so many ways; close fought thrillers, a slick submission, a barn burner of a title fight and plenty of hefty knockouts. As usual, a card with such excitement is not without cost to it’s athletes.

The fighters at UFC 166 certainly put it all on the line, with some fighters paying more than others. I was surprised to see that Cain Velasquez may have broken his jaw against JDS, and that TJ Waldburger came away unscathed after being carted to hospital on a stretcher. Check out the full list:
