Video: Rousimar Palhares explains UFC Fight Night 29 controversy

At UFC Fight Night 29, Rousimar Palhares finished Mike Pierce with a nasty heel hook early in the very first round.

After the referee stepped in, Palhares held on for a bit too long and the UFC released him from their roster for this ‘unsportsmanlike behavior’.

On Saturday “Toquinho” posted a video on his official YouTube page explaining his side of the situation.
