While they undoubtedly will take full advantage of an upcoming rest and relaxation period, neither fighter drew a long forced layoff from the overseeing Nevada State Athletic Commission, which today released medical suspensions from this past Saturday’s event. Lawler, who defended his belt for the second time via split decision, drew a two-month suspension, as did former interim champ Condit in his second bid to win undisputed gold

Garcia (14-5 MMA, 0-4 UFC) opened up the fight with hard punches to the body, but it took little time for Westcott (8-3-1 MMA, 1-2 UFC) to duck under a winging overhand right and utilize a takedown to put the fight where he wanted it. Westcott quickly moved to improve his position, wrapping up Garcia’s legs and moving toward mount before punches allowed him to take the back.
