Robbie Lawler's cut

In a report given out by the California State Athletic Commission they have medically suspended 11 of the 22 fighters that competed this past Saturday at EliteXC's "Unfinished Business" event including Middleweight Champion "Ruthless" Robbie Lawler who got a two month suspension by receiving that gash on the top of his head due to elbow strikes by the challenger Scott Smith.
