Rousimar Palhares still hasn’t been booked for his World Series of Fighting debut, but the company president promised that the controversial UFC vet will be on a short leash. As MMAjunkie first reported, the Las Vegas-based promotion took a gamble and signed the UFC castoff this past month. Palhares (15-5), who fought 12 times for the UFC, was released from the promotion following an October submission win over Mike Pierce. UFC President Dana White criticized Palhares for not letting go of a heel hook – a submission move that can cause serious damage to an opponent’s knee – immediately after his opponent both physically and verbally submitted.
