World Series of Fighting 22: Palhares vs. Shields was a mixed martial arts event held August 1, 2015 in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. This event aired on NBCSN in the U.S and on Fight Network in Canada.

Background

The event went head-to-head with UFC 190 on the same night.[1]

The main event is scheduled to be a fight for the WSOF Welterweight Championship between champion Rousimar Palhares making his second defence of his title against challenger Jake Shields.[2]

The co-main event is scheduled to be a fight for the WSOF Bantamweight Championship between champion Marlon Moraes making his second defence of his title against challenger Sheymon Moraes.[3]
