Fedor, Sylvia medically suspended for six months

Fedor Emelianenko and Tim Sylvia, the main eventers of the inaugural "Affliction: Banned" event on July 19, have been medically suspended for 180 days.

The heavyweights would only have to serve the full sentence if they decide not to get cleared by an orthopedic doctor.

Fedor was suspended for an injury to his right hand, while Sylvia was suspended for an injury to his left elbow.

Fedor and Sylvia are both expected to compete on the next Affliction card on Oct. 11.
