I believe Salmon is prevented from fighting due to medical suspensions issued by the California State Athletic Commission but I could be wrong.

More importantly, common sense should dictate that he take a break in his fighting. Sean has been at the wrong end of a couple of vicious KO’s (not to mention a couple of RNC’s) in his short career and I do not see much evolution in his fight game. The thought of him stepping into the cage with a fighter (Mayhem) that is arguably more skilled than the opponent he faced at Strikeforce is a scary proposition.

In the interest of his own personal well-being, Sean needs to seriously evaluate whether he should be fighting for a living. Although he has fared well at some of the lesser regional fighting promotions, he is not ready for prime time in my opinion. There is no shame in realizing that his skill set just does not allow him to contend at the highest levels. Additional training might help him fend off the rear nakeds but if your hands aren’t fast enough to block strikes, I don’t know if they ever will be (regardless of the time one puts in at the dojo). Just my 2 cents.

Yeah, I think Sean Salmon has really shot himself in the foot by screwing over HDNet twice. He claimed to not have exclusivity, but they had some agreement about not fighting up to a month before hand. I think if Salmon does return, he really needs to talk things over with or get new management, he’s just making very bad career decisions. Needless to say, he messed up big. Quality of Opponent > Quantity of Opponents in the fight game.

Im glad this guy lost his chance at Mayhem , why take a fight 4 weeks out from a huge fight with Jason Miller … That is twice that he blew his chance too fight for Cuban.

“…Sean Salmon, who was viciously knocked out last weekend…”

Good way to put it.
