Do you agree with the decision to not give Palhares his SOTN bonus?

Yes. Heel hooks aren't something to fuck around with, it's good that Pierce only sustained damage to his ankle but could have been seriously injured.

Not necessarily, I remember rich Franklin mentioning he had problems with his ankle long after the shamrock fight which he had one one slapped on and narrowly escaped.
 
Always fight until the ref pulls you off, the ref hadn't got to Hendo while he was in mid air landing the H bomb. That is not comparable to what Paul Harris has done continuously through his career, not stopping when the ref jumps in.

In this particular fight, Tree Stump let go when the ref stopped him. Like you said, go until the ref stops you. There was less than one second between the ref hugging the leg and Tree Stump letting go.
 
I accidentally voted no, but yes I do. I honestly think he should be cut, he's a disgrace to the sport.

Agree 100%, not once or twice but MANY TIMES he has shown that he has no respect for the integrity of his opponent who has to make a living and provide for his family by doing the same sport he does, I have no respect for people like that, I sincerely hope he loses and gets cut
 
I agree too.

And lol at the retards comparing this to bisping/hendo.
Not the same thing at all.

bisping never even felt the punch and ref hadn't stopped the fight yet.
Rousy held that shit after the intervention and could have finished the guy's career with that submission.

He should be harshly disciplined if not fired.
 
This is like saying, "pointing your gun at people and firing is okay as long as you miss". Dont be a fucking idiot.

Mate youre the bitch who doesnt even train. I am rehabbing a torn shoulder due to BJJ, and I do not have any problem with what happened.

You stop into the cage bad shit happens. You agree to fight a leg lock specialist and you accept these sort of risks.

But with that said Palhares is a heelhook master. He holds it at the point before serious damage as he has done it literally 1000s of times. He could if he wanted to instantly tear the knee to shreds then let go. But he cranks it at the correct level.


Give the man some credit, and joint he gym before you ever post on this forum again you dimwit.
 
What happened to Pierce is merely the tax of willingly choosing to grapple with the Tree Stump.

You have no concept of a working analogy. Pierce is consenting to a fight and he enters a fight knowing Palhares is going to be attempting this move. In fact, he can be almost certain it is the ONLY move Palhares is going to pull off this move. So in what way is that like people suddenly pulling guns on other people, shooting said guns, and either hitting or missing people?

A closer analogy is that Pierce is like a kid who hangs out with gang members, then gets upset when he gets shot or beaten to s#it by a rival gang. It's still not correct, but its a closer analogy than the BS you just tried to create.


If anyone is an idiot here....

Jocke has no idea what he is on about.
 
Yes, Brazilian Lenny needs to learn to play nice or Gary Sinise will have to put him down.

lol second time I've heard him called that today...never gets old though.

I do agree with it. A bonus is a bonus, he didn't lose out of his fight purse did he? Isn't the UFC reviewing the tape on the fight before they determine if any further actions are needed?
 
The only one that really looked bad was Drwal, Massenzio and Branch were legit tap and releases.

And Drwal stated of the incident "Sh** happens to everyone, and it's part of my job to deal with accidents, I'm not going to complain. This time around was good for him and bad for me."
 
Yes 100% They should give him the Babalu treatment and fire his arse.

There is no room for that disgracefull bullshit in the sport.
 
how many times is he going to be allowed to do this before he's banned?

he could be the most exciting fighter, best fighter in the world, but if he wants to ignore the ref and risk damging people unnecessarily, there is no space for him in the sport.

he should do fucking community service for that.
 
just seen the gif. so, after that, he thanks God.

awful, awful little man.
 
Yes I agree.

This is sport, this is competition. When the other man quits and the ref steps in that should be the end of it, fighters get hurt and may have their careers cut short for this kind of maliciousness.
