UFC on FOX 15 Medical Suspensions: Swanson, Machida & Herrig Get Long Sits
UFC On FOX 15 went down this past Saturday (April 18th, 2015) and saw middleweight contender Luke Rockhold put in a dominant showing against Lyoto Machida at the top of the card. Also at 185 pounds, Jacare Souza pulled a ‘groundhog day’ over ill-fated Chris Camozzi, as he submitted his two-time foe and late replacement with ease in round one.
Max Holloway once again proved why he is known as “Blessed”, dominating the formerly untouchable Cub Swanson en route to a third round submission win. The victory also earned the young Hawaiian a performance of the night bonus.
Women’s Strawweight contenders Felice Herrig and Paige VanZant collided to open the evening’s festivities, and it was the 21-year old VanZant who got the win for Team Alpha Male, with a one-sided unanimous decision win.
The full list of medical suspensions has been released to MMAFighting, and it looks like “Beautiful Destruction” suffered a broken jaw and thumb. Bad times for “The Dragon” too, as he requires a CT scan before being cleared after his beating from “Rocky”.
