Rousimar Palhares' time as the World Series of Fighting Welterweight Champion may be coming to an end.

After WSOF VP Ali Abdel-Aziz said he would re-watch the fight Palhares had Saturday with Jake Shields before making a decision on Palhares' future, he Tweeted out on Sunday that he'd done so. Based on his comment, it's not likely to be a positive one for the Brazilian.




Penick's Analysis: They may actually go through with stripping him of the title, and that's the right move on their part. By keeping him as their Champion, they'd be implicit in his actions by essentially continuing to condone his behavior. His pattern of behavior just isn't acceptable, and if they did nothing it would reflect extremely poorly on them as an organization.
