Twelve of the twenty-two UFC 102 fighters in action at Saturday’s event in Portland have been issued medical suspensions by the Oregon State Athletic Commission stemming from their bouts.

The longest suspension was dolled out to Portland-native Ed Herman, who is sidelined indefinitely from a fight-ending knee injury, while headliners Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Randy Couture were both issued 30 day precautionary suspensions.

Headliners Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Randy Couture were the top earners at Saturday’s UFC 102 event in Portland, according to figures released by the Oregon State Athletic Commission.

Nougiera, who defeated Couture by unanimous decision in the evening’s main event, earned $400,000 for the victory, while Couture received $250,000 in the loss. The disclosed payroll for the pay-per-view event was $1,285,000.

Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira rebounded from his disappointing loss to Frank Mir in his fight with an exciting unanimous decision victory over Randy Couture in the main event of UFC 102 on Saturday at the Rose Garden Arena in Portland, Oregon.

The UFC 102 main card also featured impressive knockouts by Thiago Silva and Nate Marquard, while the prelims were highlighted by Todd Duffee’s record-setting 7-second KO in his UFC debut.

All 22 UFC 102 fighters, including heavyweight headliners Randy Couture and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, successfully made weight on Friday at the Rose Garden Arena in Portland, Oregon, the same venue which hosts Saturday’s pay-per-view event.

Couture, the 46-year-old UFC hall of famer and former light heavyweight and heavyweight champion, weighed in at 220-pounds, while the former UFC and PRIDE title-holder Nogueira tipped the scale at 231-pounds.

Wilson Gouviea’s recent-withdrawal from a scheduled UFC 102 fight against Ed Herman has caused the UFC to shuffle several upcoming matchups, as Herman will now fight Aaron Simpson at the August 28 event, while Dan Miller, who was to fight Simpson at UFC Fight Night 19, will instead meet CB Dollaway on the September 16 card.

Middleweight Wilson Gouveia has withdrawn from his UFC 102 matchup against Ed Herman after suffering a back injury that will sideline him until at least October.

MMA News first reported the injury on Friday just days after Herman was tapped to replace an injured James Irvin and take on Gouveia at the August 29 event in Portland.

Ed Herman is likely to replace an injured James Irvin and take on Wilson Gouveia at UFC 102 on August 29 in Portland, according to MMA Weekly.

Irvin withdrew from the matchup with Gouveia on Tuesday after suffering a “massive” knee injury that will sideline him for up to 10 months.

Middleweight Aaron Simpson will look to keep his undefeated 5-0 record intact when he takes on The Ultimate Fighter 3 castmember Ed Herman at UFC Fight Night 19 on September 16 in Oklahoma City.

Simpson recently announced the matchup against Herman on Facebook after previously stating he could fight Dan Miller at the Spike-televised event only to update his announcement to say nothing was yet official.

Hours after being unofficially confirmed as the replacement for an injured Yushin Okami, Ed Herman has apparently been bumped from the UFC 98 card for undisclosed reasons and replaced by Chael Sonnen, who will now meet Dan Miller on May 23rd in Las Vegas.

Ed Herman has been selected to replace an injured Yushin Okami against Dan Miller at UFC 98 on May 23rd in Las Vegas. The news, which comes via MMA Weekly, is a bit disappointing considering the UFC promised an "awesome replacement challenger".
