Would've liked to see more of Palhares at 170, he's a freak brick house looking dude and is always involved in some odd shit going down in his fights so it makes things interesting.
That being said, I don't really care, dude has done this twice now, holding on to subs too long and it's a sub that is widely considered to be the most dangerous to people's limbs and can ruin careers the way people's knees can get mangled. Never been a big fan of the guy and I understand that he might just be stupid and not necessarily a bad person who's being an asshole just to be an asshole, but he's gotta learn his lesson at some point, even if he's not the sharpest tool in the shed.
Might be harsh cutting him but it's not something that bothers me, he wasn't gonna be a title contender or anything special at 170 imo. You can't be a just a good fighter and get away with the bullshit he's pulled. Bellator or somewhere else will take him in now, he'll be fine, hopefully he stops doing this to himself b/c he has no one else to blame.
