Jake Shields came up short in his bid for the World Series of Fighting welterweight title, and now the grappling specialist could be facing a six-month layoff due to injuries sustained in his bout with Rousimar Palhares.
The Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) on Monday released its list of medical suspensions from WSOF 22, which took place Aug. 1 at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. The show’s main event saw Shields submit to a third-round kimura which Palhares did not immediately release after the fight was stopped by referee Steve Mazzagatti.
