Somewhere in California, Babalu is throwing the controller at his television after watching the replay of Rousimar Palahares' domination over Tomasz Drwal via absolute leg hyper extension. When Babalu held on to his anaconda against Deavid Heath at UFC 74 slightly longer than usual, dude was tossed out of the UFC. Palahares does it, and he receives a 90 day suspension. However, this isn't the first time Palahares had separation issues with a well lodged submission. Check out his 2007 fight with Helio Dipp at Floripa Fight 4 in Brazil (props to CRE from The UG). It starts at the 2:05 mark.

Still not convinced? Check out his very next bout with Flavio Luiz Moura at Fury FC 4. It pops off (literally) at the 4:45 mark.

Hold up, he's not done. Check out this clip of his December 2007 victory at Fury FC 5 against Fabio Negao. Go to the 3:50 mark.

I think that to get the business loans from banks you should present a good motivation. But, one time I have received a college loan, just because I wanted to buy a house.

Ok that fisrt fight is bad, but the others don't seem over the top at all...

Showing it in slo-mo made it out to be so much worse than what it was... He holds on what??? 1 second after the ref grabs his arms? Plus Tomasz Drwal getting hurt from it makes it worse too... it's mma... people get jacked up in practice just as bad. Don't believe there was an ounce of ill will here.

In the heat of the moment, if he let's up... he risks the other guy getting up and coming back to beat his ass. He stopped when the ref grabbed his arms...

u guys talk a load of jive, i wouldnt want u at a gym i train at

all of the fights he cranks long after the guy taps, a tap is the other guy sayin he's done a fighter shouldnt need to wait for the ref- if a ref misses the tap its poor ref'ing and dishonest on the guy that tapped but if he carried on like that on a mate of mine i'd be in there kicking him off.

Rules state: Continue fighting until the refs stops the fight.

The whole submission took 2-3 seconds from the sub, the ref jumping in and the release of the hold.

We're talking about fighting not softball! If u can't stand the heat, keep out of the kitchen!

It's clear most of you guys dpn't train. Holding on too a leglock can end a career. Justify it anyway you want, at the end of the day that was a prick move.

I train at a gym...and i handle my trainingspartne rs quite different than an actual opponent.
I bet Palhares does so as well.

Are u stupid or what? This isn't training this is actual fighting.
Fighting for prestige, fighting for money, fighting to feed the family!

Dumping someone on his head or breaking an arm or ripping out a shoulder can also end and career.


So...what was your point again? The point behind a jiu jitsu technique is to break a limb not to make someone tab.

Pallhores is a fucking asshole. I hope someone breaks his leg, arm, his fucking stupid head.

I enjoy these comments advocating broken limbs from people who probably haven't ever been caught in a leglock.
