The event was wild, weird, and definitely entertaining.<\/p>\n<p>From a back and forth <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/videos\/video-stipe-miocic-knocks-fabricio-werdum-wins-ufc-championship1\/\">heavyweight title fight<\/a> that ended up with a knockout delivered by the champion Stipe Miocic to a kick thrown by former heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum on his opponent&#8217;s coach after the fight was over. UFC 203 definitely provided entertainment for the fans, but it also came at a price for 12 of the 20 fighters that stepped into the Octagon.<\/p>\n<p>Former WWE superstar CM Punk made his <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/videos\/video-watch-cm-punk-tapout-mickey-gall-ufc-203\/\">professional mixed martial arts debut<\/a> and took a beating but earned the respect of many fellow UFC fighters in doing so. Punk was given a 45-day suspension with no contact for 30 days.<\/p>\n<p>Stipe Miocic, who was rocked early on in the championship fight against Alistair Overeem was given a suspension of 45 days with 15 days of no contact. Overeem suffered a knockout at the hands of Miocic and was suspended indefinitely pending a neurological clearance.<\/p>\n<p>Heavyweight Travis Browne was also suspended indefinitely pending orthopedic clearance for his finger that was injured in the bout, which was another odd moment from UFC 203 where he called a personal timeout, in which he was given by the referee, Gary Copeland. Veteran referee Big John McCarthy tweeted after the fight that Copeland should <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/fabricio-werdum\/big-john-mccarthy-werdum-vs-browne-should-have-been-stopped\/\">not have given Browne a personal timeout<\/a>, but is just one of the many things that happened during the event to make it that much more memorable.<\/p>\n<p>The full list of UFC 203 medical suspensions via <a href=\"http:\/\/mmajunkie.com\/2016\/09\/ufc-203-medical-suspensions-overeem-needs-ct-scan-browne-out-indefinitely-for-finger-injury\/\" target=\"_blank\">MMA Junkie<\/a> include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Stipe Miocic: Suspended 45 days with 15 days no contact.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Alistair Overeem: Suspended indefinitely pending neurological clearance; needs CT scan within five days and MRI after five days.
