Jake Shields' manager: Rousimar Palhares ‘should be kicked out of the sport'

LAS VEGAS -- Rousimar Palhares' fate has yet to be decided following his controversial actions at World Series of Fighting 22, but Jake Shields' manager, Tareq Azim, hopes the Brazilian's latest run-in with the rules is his last.

"I think he should be kicked out of the sport," Azim told MMAFighting.com. "That's why I love what the UFC did. The UFC made a statement that, look, this isn't good for the sport. This isn't good for the brand. This isn't good for anything. He's ruining careers."

Palhares retained his WSOF welterweight title with a kimura over Shields in Saturday night's main event, however the contest was marred by several fouls.
