In fighting through what appeared to be a badly injured elbow in
addition to a potentially torn MCL in his knee, Conor Heun has
unsurprisingly drawn the most serious medical suspension arising from
this past Saturday’s “Strikeforce: Overeem vs. Werdum” event.

Blue Chip Management, though an MRI will determine the extent of his
elbow injury. Nevertheless, the fighter is benched for the remainder of
the summer.
