Whilst the coverage has relieved many fighters from heavy medical bills from injuries related to fighting, Strikeforce fighter Conor Heun has faced several issues with his claim.

Most were issued a mandatory seven-day ban, but eight athletes will be forced to ride the pine for longer. Miesha Tate (Pictured), who found her left arm bent in the opposite direction in an armbar submission loss to Ronda Rousey, Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza, Roger Bowling and Conor Heun all face indefinite suspensions. However, each can return to action with the permission of their physician. Nationwide Arena in Columbus hosted this weekend’s extravaganza. Here are the fighters that will be out for longer than the commission’s mandatory ban (Courtesy of MMAJunkie): Miesha Tate: Indefinite suspension due to left elbow dislocation Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza: Indefinite suspension due to possible broken hand Roger Bowling: Indefinite suspension due to possible broken hand Conor Heun: Indefinite suspension due to possible broken hand Kazuo Misaki: Suspended 4 Mon, 05 Mar 2012 12:31:37 -0500 http://network.yardbarker.com/mma/article_external/strikeforce_tate_vs_rousey_medical_suspensions_issued/10235785 http://network.yardbarker.com/mma/article_external/strikeforce_tate_vs_rousey_medical_suspensions_issued/10235785 ‘Strikeforce: Tate vs. Rousey’ Medical Suspensions Issued http://www.yardbarker.com/mma/articles/strikeforce_tate_vs_rousey_medical_suspensions_issued/10235785 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png If you happened to miss Saturday night’s main event between Miesha Tate and Ronda Rousey (Pictured), no worries because Showtime has released the scrap’s highlights for your viewing pleasure. Many believed Rousey’s Chael Sonnen-like ways is what earned her the title scrap because the 25-year-old only had four professional fights under her belt and was debuting in the bantamweight division. However, Rousey backed up all of her chatter by posting another violent victory. “Rowdy” bumped her record to a perfect 5-0, with all of her wins coming via 1stRound armbar submission, en route to capturing the 135-pound crown. “Strikeforce: Tate vs. Rousey” took place Saturday inside Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio.

When it was over, Kaufman, the former 135-pound champion, scored the majority decision win. “I knew she was gonna come in tough and come in to fight,” said Kaufman. “I’m gonna come to fight, I’m gonna have that title. It’s my title.” Scores were 29-28 twice and 29-29 for Kaufman, who improves to 15-1; Davis falls to 11-5. Davis showed no fear of Kaufman’s striking attack as the bout opened, but Kaufman took advantage with some flush shots, including a hard left-right and a series of uppercuts at close range.
