The Nevada State Athletic Commission has suspended both "The Ultimate Fighter: Live" champion Michael Chieaa and preliminary-card fighter Pat Schilling six months after this past weekend's UFC event, officials today confirmed via email withMMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).

Both competed at The Ultimate Fighter Live Finale on June 1.

Chiesa (left-hand injury) and Schilling (right-hand and right-shoulder injuries) each can be cleared early by a physician.

The Ultimate Fighter Live Finale took place at The Pearl at Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. FX aired the main card while FUEL TV and Facebook carried the prelims.

Chiesa submitted lightweight Al Iaquinta in the co-main event to win this season's "TUF" crown, and Schilling dropped a lopsided unanimous decision to fellow featherweight Max Holloway during the prelims.

In the headliner, Martin Kapmann knocked out fellow welterweight contender Jake Ellenberger. Kampmann has been shut down two months due to facial lacerations, and Ellenberger has been sidelined a month for precautionary reasons.

The full list of TUF Live Finale medical suspensions included:

• Martin Kampmann: Suspended until Aug. 1 with no contact in training until July 17 due to facial lacerations
• Jake Ellenberger: Suspended until July 2 with no contact until June 23 for precautionary reasons
• Michael Chiesa: Suspended until Nov. 29 to a possible left-hand injury, though a doctor can clear him early with X-rays
