Several fighters from this past Saturday's UFC 146 will be out until at least July, maybe longer, with medical suspensions from the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

Cain Velasquez, who won a first round TKO on Antonio SIlva, needs an X-ray of his left hand. If it's broken, he'll be out until November. Velasquez was labeled a possible #1 contender by UFC President Dana White. The champion, Junior Dos Santos, had no injures after his TKO win of Frank Mir. Lavar Johnson, who lost via submission to Stefan Struve's armbar in 65 seconds of the first round, will need to be cleared by an orthopedist.
