Rousimar Palhares and Jake Shields In the wake of their controversial fight, the Nevada State Athletic Commission has temporarily suspended Rousimar Palhares and J ake Shields pending a formal complaint and hearing. NSAC Executive Director Bob Bennett today told MMAjunkie he’ll sign off on temporary suspension, as NBC Las Vegas’ Amber Dixon first reported via Twitter on Tuesday. “More than likely there will be a complaint filed for both fighters, and we’re still considering options for their unacceptable conduct,” Bennett said. In the headliner of this past Saturday’s WSOF 22 event, Palhares (18-6) submitted Shields (31-8-1) in the third round with a kimura and continued torquing the shoulder lock as the ref halted the fight.
