Why Palhares Was Banned for Life from the UFC

Earlier today we reported the release of UFC Welterweight and long time Middleweight, Rousimar Palhares.  In case you missed the submission from last night below is the notorious submission that got him fired.



In case you've not been a fan of the UFC for a while here is the time before that in which he held on a little too long as well:


If those two incidences of holding onto a submission after a tap wasn't enough, in his previous fight against Hector Lombard, Palhares tested positive for high testosterone levels.  This is a justifiable release for the UFC.  Palhaes' behavior is unacceptable and can not be ruled as an accident considering that this has happened now a second time.  The UFC is making a smart decision by releasing Palhares before he continues to jeopardize not only limbs but the careers of more of the UFC's roster.
