The California State Athletic Commission released the list of medical suspensions on the heels of Saturday’s Strikeforce: Barnett vs. Cormier card, and a lot of guys got hurt.

Both Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix finalists suffered broken hands in their bout, and Strikeforce lightweight title challenger Josh Thomson had been dealing with rumors of a knee injury going into the bout. Here’s the full list of suspensions via MMA Weekly (preliminary card fighters after the jump):
