Something tells us that when Rousimar Palhares returns from his suspension, he won't be fighting at welterweight.
The former World Series of Fighting champion is currently serving a two-year suspension for failing to let go of a kimura against Jake Shields after the referee intervened, and it looks like he's been spending his time off hitting every weights in the gym.
Well, that is when he's not working around his suspension by fighting in Europe... not that we're complaining too much about that.
