Rousimar Palhares def. Tomasz Drwal via submission (heel hook) - Round 1, 0:45.

damn 45 sec heel hook . where does it put him in the MW division ?

 

[xeberus]

id like to see it, rep to the first person to post a gif/vid

 

[looney liam]

this guy the is the sleeper of the mw division. hope he starts to fight more often, big things are in his future.

 

[The Horticulturist]

HAHAHAH! wow, that slip right into the heelhook was priceless! beautiful!!

EDIT: sort of greasy not letting go, but it was only a second or two.

 

[locnott]

He hurt that duds leg, bad and did it on purpose I think..

 

[Rastaman]

Wow Palhares should be banned from UFC for a while. That was Babalu-esque.

 

[xeberus]

I gotta say it looked to be in poor taste..

 

[box]

Rogan counted a solid 5 seconds after he started tapping. Not a good deal for that dudes knee.

 

[coldcall420]

I dont care what he says he could have let go sooner and Tomasz couldnt have done anything to Pallhares from that spot....Pallhares knows that....regardless of what he said.....

No. But it was only about ONE second after the ref called the fight. And if you look Palhares had his eyes closed, so he doesn't know the ref is stopping the fight til he pushes him. I gotta say that the ref has to know there's a leg lock guy in the cage, and be on top of that.

 

[JimmyJames]

I like Drwal and that was UGLY.........

He held on to that way tooo long..... dick move!!!

 

[DahStoryTella]

Nasty submission.

 

[Terror Kovenant]

Palhares is as one dimensional as they come, but that was definitely shady.

 

[swpthleg]

That was hard to watch, and I'm going to assume the ref knew that Palhares was Mr. Leg Locka, Chief Heel Hooka.

 

[Mike Male$h]

I was watching it live, man he screwed up by slipping and well than it was his fault he got himself into that submission but like Joe said, the mats are slippery. Also when the prelims cut out to the final stuff with hardy/GSP you see an ambulance outside the arena so yeah from the looks of it, it went pretty bad for his leg.

If I were him I would be pretty upset at myself.

 

[adobostreak]

watching it for the first time on the PPV, it wasnt as bad as it was described here. joe just exaggerated

 

[Mirage445]

As soon as I saw the spoiler tag and immediate discussion, I somehow knew exactly what this thread was about...and this was before watching the fight.

Rousamir has some crazy ass leg locks...he also has a tendency to go a bit above and beyond what's needed.

 

[Iuanes]

Ref was too far away from the action. I don't fault Palhares at all. He didn't hold on that long after the ref signaled, its just that he signaled so late.

 

[Rygu]

Palhares did hold on a few seconds too long imo, but you also have to look at the shitty reffing as well. Herb Dean would have been right there and the second he tapped Herb would have physically made him let go.

I put half on Palhares and half on whoever was reffing, too stoned to remember now. :smoke01:

 

[michelangelo]

That crazy "King Kong on the top of the empire state building" impersonation at fight's conclusion was particularly tasteless to boot.
