Fabricio Werdum may have put a serious beating on Cain Velasquez at UFC 188, but the new undisputed heavyweight champion is the one facing a potential six-month suspension following the June 13 event.
Werdum must receive MRI clearance of his right knee and right thumb as well as a nasal x-ray before he can compete again. The Brazilian submitted Velasquez with a guillotine choke 2:13 into the third round at Mexico City Arena in Mexico City this past Saturday night.
