Venator FC is stirring up controversy again, this time by signing suspended WSOF fighter and UFC veteran Rousimar Palhares.
Looks like Rousimar Palhares is adamant that he won't take this two-year NAC suspension lying down. Palhares was handed a two year ban in Nevada last October for his latest in a long string of in-cage incidents. During a WSOF 22 bout against Jake Shields, Palhares once again held a submission past the point his opponent tapped and spent much of the bout raking his opponents eyes (which didn't seem to factor into his ban, strangely). It appears to be the straw that broke the camels back, prompting the Nevada Athletic Commission to bring him up for a disciplinary hearing.
