Rousimar Palhares isn't interested in fighting for WSOF anymore, expects fair NAC trial

The Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) postponed Rousimar Palhares’ disciplinary hearing for later this month, and the Brazilian expects a fair trial after seeing UFC star Nick Diaz get a five-year ban in a bizarre trial in September.

"The only thing I expect about this hearing is that they judge me as I should be judged. Don’t let other little things impact their decision," Palhares told MMAFighting.com. "I’m an athlete and that’s how I make a living, so I leave everything in God’s hands. Only time will tell. What I know is that I’m a man who fights for a living, to provide for my family, and that’s what I want to do.
