i'm ok with that decision.

can't help but feel bad for the guy but then you think about his history,....

the article didn't say he was banned forever

I don't know how to post the tweet, but it's from the UFC account in the article.
"RT @JeremySchaap @danawhite tells me on @ESPNOlbermann that Rousimar Palhares is banned. won't ever fight for UFC again..."

Anyone planning on watching the Bellator fights next week? My good friends brother finally gets his professional debut fight on that card. He should have fought a few weeks ago in Cali, but his opponent backed out at the last minute.

I'll be watching. What's his name?

did anyone catch the show Frank Shamrock: Bound By Blood on spike tv?

it's a documentary about Frank that briefly goes over his upbringing, how he went to jail, how he met Bob Shamrock who eventually adopted him. and how ken helped him get into mma and their eventual falling out

they have a sit down at the end face to face.

they also talk about some of his most notable fights and his departure from the ufc. I recommend it, it's a good watch

and nothing, that's just his thing lol

no problem, you should find it interesting. it's too bad there's no actual footage of his ufc fights (which I understand is a copy right thing) but they have stills

Oh well,so much for that idea....The video in the link won't play on the phone so I'll have to catch it later.

Former trainer Marilo Bustamante had this to say about the Palharis incident

“I wouldn’t normally say anything because usually what happens inside Brazilian Top Team stays inside Brazilian Top Team. But Rousimar has been talking a lot of bulls--t about my team so I feel I am free to say what I think as well,” Bustamante tells us.

“I can say this - nobody ever defended him as much as I did every time he made a mistake like this. In the beginning I thought it was because he was naive or had too much nervous energy during the fights.

“But then he caused a lot of incidents inside my academy during his camps and I changed my mind.

“I got tired of seeing how he hurts people so often when he is sparring, especially when he has a fight coming up. We used to argue every time it happened, so we argued a lot.

“That was a reason - together with his nonsense excuses every time he lost a fight - that our relationship started to get bitter.

“I actually hired a psychologist to help me with him but, as we have seen, it didn't work.”
