Following a highly impressive victory over Quinton "Rampage" Jackson at UFC 135 last weekend, UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones was seen limping, and received medical attention after the fight. With the official list of medical suspensions having now been released by the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies' Office of Boxing (via MMAJunkie.com), it appears Jones suffered something significant.
