Despite no Athletic Commission in China to oversee the event, suspensions were released to Association of Boxing Commissions.

The main event on FUEL TV was a middleweight showdown which gave the fans of China an amazing KO as Cung Le rocked Rich Franklin in the very first round. Le has been suspended for up to 180 days or if his left elbow is cleared with an x-ray. On the other side of things, Franklin was also suspended for 180 days unless his left thumb is cleared by the doctor.
