Rousimar Palhares and Jake Shields The Nevada State Athletic Commission today issued temporary suspensions to WSOF welterweights Rousimar Palhares and Jake Shields , as well as UFC fighter Caio Magalhaes , pending formal hearings for unsportsmanlike conduct. NSAC Executive Director Bob Bennett earlier this month told MMAjunkie he would issue a temporary suspension against the fighters , and a meeting today in Las Vegas formalized the decision. During today’s hearing, Nevada Deputy Attorney General Chris Eccles said he is in the process of drafting disciplinary complaints for Palhares and Shields for unsportsmanlike conduct. He plans to review their controversial bout for the commission when the matter is addressed in a hearing. Palhares (18-6) held a kimura submission on Shields (31-8-1) well after Shields tapped and the referee intervened in the third round of their headliner at WSOF 22 earlier this month. Shields then punched Palhares after the bell and the two were separated
