The California State Athletic Commission issued medical suspensions to all the fighters on Saturday’s UFC on FOX 12 card, with nearly a dozen getting terms longer than the minimum. The CSAC oversaw the event at SAP Center in San Jose, which had four main-card fights on FOX, four prelims on FOX, and four prelims on UFC Fight Pass. Main-event welterweight Matt Brown could be out for as long as six months unless a doctor clears him for a possible broken nose and cuts in the same area. If he gets the go-ahead, he’ll be out a minimum of 45 days after the five-round loss to Robbie Lawler in a title eliminator. Lawler was given the standard seven-day minimum suspension for a “mandatory rest period.” The three other fighters who lost on the main card also were given fairly significant shut-down terms. Co-main event light heavyweight Antonio Rogerio Nogueira was suspended for 45 days after his 44-second knockout loss to Anthony Johnson
