UFC on FX 5 Medical Suspensions: Danny Castillo Out Indefinitely Following Brutal Knockout

The Minnesota Office of Combative Sports on Wednesday released the medical suspensions for UFC on FX 5: Browne vs. Bigfoot, which took place on Friday night at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minn.

Headliner Travis Browne and undercard fighter Aaron Simpson both received mandatory 60-day suspensions for getting knocked out, but Danny Castillo received what is potentially the lengthiest suspension.

Like Browne and Simpson, Castillo was suspended for 60 days due to being knocked out by Michael Johnson, but was also suspended indefinitely, pending neurological clearance. He must wait 45 days prior to the neurological exam, but if cleared, can then return to the training and fighting.
