The Nevada State Athletic Commission has issued medical suspensions to a total of seven fighters who competed at this past weekend's UFC 91 event.

MMAjunkie.com recently requested and received the list of suspensions from NSAC Executive Director Keith Kizer.

Main-event fighters Brock Lesnar and Randy Couture, and five other fighters, will all serve mandatory medical suspensions following the Nov. 15 event, which took place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

MMAjunkie.com is proud to announce a new series, "The Anatomy of an MMA Show."

While just a few organizations dominate the national and international scene, many regional promotions are finding success on the local scene. The Florida-based Xtreme Fighting Championships, which is averaging more than 10,000 spectators per show, has been one of the best.

In the first of his five-part series, XFC President John Prisco takes us behind the scenes and discusses the company's challenges as he prepares for the organization's Dec. 5 show.

Affliction Entertainment has announced a total of 11 fights for its Jan. 24 "Day of Reckoning" card, and all but three bouts have both competitors confirmed.

The event, which takes place at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., airs on HDNet (preliminary card) before heading to Showtime PPV for the night's main card, which includes a headline bout between WAMMA heavyweight champion Fedor Emelianenko and Andrei Arlovski.

Only Josh Barnett, Vitor Belfort and Brett Cooper are currently without opponents.

Although his future is still uncertain, EliteXC welterweight champion Jake Shields, assuming he can break free from his ProElite, Inc., contract, is likely to end up in the UFC.

The 29-year-old fighter, who's won 11 consecutive fights, would be an immediate contender in the UFC's stacked welterweight division.

So, in our latest MMAjunkie.com/"Inside MMA" poll, we asked readers which fellow welterweight Shields should first fight if he does enter the UFC. And "Nightmare" was the most popular choice.

With his slick first-round submission victory over Tamdan McCrory at this past weekend's UFC 91 event, UFC welterweight debut Dustin Hazelett picked up his fifth UFC victory in six fights and his second consecutive Submission of the Night bonus.

However, the fighter -- who's now racked up three "fight night" bonuses worth a total of $105,000 over his past two fights -- said he is not yet a part of the 170-pound division's elite.

"You just have to take your time," the 22-year-old Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt said. "A lot of guys try to rush it too quickly, try to climb to climb to the top quickly. I'm taking my time and working on getting better at everything."
