Still Under WSOF Contract, Rousimar ‘Toquinho’ Palhares Signs with Venator FC

With Jason “Mayhem” Miller already in tow, Venator FC is attempting to sign another controversial fighter.

The Italian mixed martial arts promotion announced on Tuesday that it has booked Rousimar Palhares to face Emil Meek on May 21 at Venator FC 3 in Milan. Palhares will fight Meek for the Venator FC welterweight title, but there could be some complications along the way.

Palhares remains under contract with World Series of Fighting, and according to a report from MMAFighting.com, any attempt by the Brazilian to compete for another organization would be a violation of that deal.
