Possible broken jaw and potential nasal fracture? How hard is it to actually diagnose that?

 

[countswagula]

A broken jaw sounds like something a fighter would be immediately aware of

I thought the same thing. Broken jaws are incredibly painful, but for whatever reason Cain and his doctors aren't sure yet haha

I'm not going to believe any medical diagnosis these doctors put out after seeing them refuse to stop any fights at 166. They have no idea what they're talking about

Is it really the cageside doctors who hand out the medical suspensions?

 

[Nicslagan]

Yeah, Cain took some shots too. I only got to see the last 2 fights.

hairline fractures are the problem. They have to be x-rayed from the correct angle.

If you consider JDS threw very few punches, he actually did a lot of damage.

Cain's chin is so glass...

It's the doctors backstage I believe who hand out the suspensions. But all the doctors are hired by the same body so it's not hard to assume the backstage doctors are equally as inept as the guys who were cageside

Why do you think Cain resorted to hugging after he tried going toe-to-toe in the opening round? Lol cain's camp had the perfect strategy= Cain wins .

Yes and jds has a pillow face thats why cains fist sank in it.

 

[Italian Brock]

Wow I didn't know we had so many doctors in this forum...

 

[Uatu TheWatcher]

If Velasquez does indeed have a broken jaw issue it has to be because of the first punch from JDS. That was a big shot.

 

[Emjay]

Cause Cain didn't drop JDS in the 3rd or anything

Right...wtf is up w the cain haters? Mauls jds again and all we hear is he stalled or got tagged and fought safe

It's the way of the Sherdog.

All these are basically done on site in the arena, unless the guy gets taken immediately to hospital. That's why you see things like requiring an x-ray, MRI, or CT: they don't/can't do them for the initial medical exam. They do a physical exam, see if anything hurts, is cut, or shows abnormal swelling or doesn't have full range of motion, and base the suspension on worst case unless it's ruled out by further tests.

Cain's nose was bleeding fairly badly by the end of the fight, but he didn't exactly look like Vera or Le after Thiago and Wanderlei flattened their faces. And a broken jaw won't always be this obvious:
