\"Palhares\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Earlier today the World Series of Fighting announced that they are stripping welterweight champion, Rousimar Palhares, of his title and suspending him indefinitely.<\/a><\/p>\n

Right after the news broke Palhares’ manager Alex Davis spoke to MMAJunkie<\/a> and told them that he wasn’t happy with how the WSOF was going about this, releasing the information to the media before him and his fighter.<\/p>\n

Check it out!<\/p>\n

\u201cI love and respect Ray, but you cannot suspend somebody indefinitely. I have the contract, and the contract says (WSOF) shall have the right upon notice to the fighter \u2013 which we have not received \u2013 shall have the right to suspend the term for a reasonable period until the applicable issue is resolved. That is not indefinitely.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIf WSOF does not want Rousimar\u2019s services anymore, what they should do is just end the contract and we\u2019ll just part ways. What\u2019s not going to happen is they keep him under contract so that he can\u2019t go and make his living somewhere else.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
