All things considered, Rousimar Palhares got off with a relatively lenient punishment for his actions at World Series of Fighting 22.
The Nevada Athletic Commission suspended Palhares for two years and fined him $40,000 during a Thursday disciplinary hearing in Las Vegas.
Palhares submitted Jake Shields with a kimura 2:02 into the third round of their headlining encounter at WSOF 22 on Aug. 1. However, Palhares appeared to hold the maneuver for several seconds too long, cranking after Shields tapped and still holding on as referee Steve Mazaggati attempted to separate the two fighters.
