It was a bad night for some familiar names at this past weekend’s KSW 36 event. The popular Polish promotion held Saturday’s card at CRS Hall in Zielona Gora, and in the headliner, UFC vet and former WSOF champ Rousimar Palhares suffered a decisive knockout loss. Facing Polish middleweight standout Michal Materla (24-5), Palhares (18-8), who’s been fighting overseas since both the UFC and WSOF released him following controversial submission finishes, ate a stiff second-round uppercut.

After Palhares tapped out Jake Shields and held the submission even after the referee’s intervention, WSOF officials stripped him of the belt and indefinitely suspended him from the promotion.
