The fight took place at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino and aired on NBCSN following prelims on MMAjunkie. Palhares (18-6) was accused of gouging the eyes of Shields (31-8-1) as well as cranking his fight winning kimura well after the tap, leading to the NSAC holding the win bonus until the events of the bout can be examined

Jake Shields’ eyes after WSOF 22 Rousimar Palhares walked away from his fight with Jake Shields with just 30 percent of his potential pay and could face disciplinary action following his controversial submission win at this past Saturday’s WSOF 22 event. Palhares (18-6) earned just $23,975 of a possible $80,000 purse for his second WSOF title defense after the Nevada State Athletic Commission elected to withhold his $40,000 win purse pending a review of the bout, which ended in the third round when Shields tapped to a kimura. An additional $16,000 was also subtracted from the Brazilian Palhares for taxes and the commission’s new anti-doping statutes, which require that 10 percent of a fighter’s purse is withheld pending the results of drug testing, NSAC Executive Director Bob Bennett told MMAjunkie on Monday. Bennett added Palhares was tested pre-fight via urine for banned substances and the results should be available shortly. (Shields and co-main event fighters Marlon Moraes and Sheymon Moraes also had 10 percent of their purses withheld.) Controversy arose when Palhares appeared to torque Shields’(31-8-1) arm well after being instructed to stop by referee Steve Mazzagatti. He was also repeatedly warned for eye-gouging in the second round.
