Out of 18 fighters that participated at UFC 91, only two were suspended for 6 months due to precautionary reasons. Jorge Gurgel and Tamdan McCrory were the 2 unfortunate injured contenders.
Gurgel was defeated by Aaron Rile via a unanimous decision. He will be acquiring an MRI on his left shoulder and an X-ray on his right ankle. Surprisingly, McCrory who lost to Dustin Hazelett via a reverse-armbar submission, will not need to get his arm or shoulder checked out.
