Thoughts: So it took Palhares just over a minute to rip another guy’s leg apart and send them into surgery. Seems a lot of people on Twitter thinks he held the submission too long again after the tap. From what I could tell he let go as soon as he recognized the ref was telling him to stop. You can’t let go just because someone taps, you have to wait for the ref. I really didn’t have a problem with the stoppage, but Steve Carl does — a fucked up knee problem. This Palhares is one dangerous dude. Who’s going to want to fight this guy? He tears up knees like Roy Nelson tears up a plate of Hooters hot wings. Good day.
