The camp of UFC heavyweight champion, Cain Velasquez (13-1 MMA, 11-1 UFC), is more than a bit confused as to why the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation’s Combative Sports division medically suspended the fighter for a suspected broken jaw following this past weekend’s UFC 166 event.<\/p>\n

Heidi Seibert, who is a spokesperson for Zinkin Entertainment, today told MMAjunkie.com\u00a0the following:<\/p>\n

“The thing is totally fine, and it was totally fine,” <\/em>said Seibert. “He hasn’t seen a doctor or anything.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/em>As for the reasoning\u00a0to why Velasquez has not yet seen a doctor, Seibert replied:<\/p>\n

“He didn’t feel there was a need to see one.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/em>Cain dominated former UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos in the main event of UFC 166, on route to winning their trilogy bout by way of\u00a0fifth-round TKO. Velasquez left the Toyota Center that evening looking\u00a0relatively unscathed by the title contest.<\/p>\n

However, on Monday, the Texas commission then released a list of UFC 166 medical suspensions and Velasquez was issued a lengthy six-month suspension due to a “possible broken jaw.”<\/p>\n

That was news to Velasquez and his camp, who have since denied the rumor:<\/p>\n

“He’s at the park with his family,” <\/em>Seibert said. “He’s been eating whatever he wants. He’s fine.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/em>Seibert stated that\u00a0Velasquez\u00a0had received\u00a0a few stitches on his nose immediately after the bout, visited the post-fight press conference to answer questions about his dominant victory, and then hopped into an awaiting car that took him to his after-party. A potential jaw injury was never discussed.<\/p>\n

“He was at the after-party by 1:30 in the morning, feeling fine” <\/em>Seibert said. ” … So we have no idea where it came from.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In other words, barring a surprise and painless broken jaw that has somehow gone undetected by the baddest man on the planet, don’t expect Velasquez to be out of action for the full six months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
