Despite receiving an indefinite medical suspension for an eye poke suffered in his UFC 123 win over Joe Lauzon, rising lightweight George Sotiropous is still expected to take on Dennis Siver at February’s UFC 127 in his native Australia.
The Michigan Unarmed Combat Commission also suspended Mike Lullo indefinitely after he was stopped in the third-round on Saturday by leg kicks from fellow newcomer Edson Barboza, while Matt Hughes (60 days), Karo Parisyan (30 days), and TJ O’Brien (30 days) earned precautionary suspensions, according to MMAjunkie.

Mike Lullo, WOW i feel for that dude. The guy has alot of heart but his skill was now where near Barboza’s. On the other hand Barboza is another talented young fight to throw in the mix.
Yea, Lullo got his leg ruined. However, I could see him fighting in the UFC again. I mean he ALMOST got Barboza into gogoplata and that’s pretty neat :)
He actually had him in the right position, he just didn’t grab his foot to complete the neck compression.
