Mike Massenzio vs. Rousimar Palhares Fight Video UFC 142 Rio Main Card.
palhares is a beast and a serious contender. he should fight sonnen next and put him out of commision.
Jebus if he threw in some capoeira kicks, cartwheels and somersaults you would think they tuned loose a shaved chimp in the cage. Honestly frightening guy.
Teach an ape BJJ and feed it HGH and testo and this is what you get.
one trick pony, but it can work
SCARY DUDE!!! Reminds me of an autistic chimp!!!
What a delivery-great submission-This guy has been on my radar since he fought Dan Henderson-He’s scary lethal in that cage
palhares needs to work on standup, but damn he’s a beast on the ground
Phil Harris has the best leg locks and roids in the business.
Juicin’ More wins again.
They keep saying he is one of the best leg-lock specialist in MMA…. But who else is currently even near his level in modern MMA???
To me he is by far the best leg-lock specialist. They need to throw him in there with some of the higher level 185′ers to really test him and break a few legs like Chael’s for instance.
Ah my God pleaaaaaase fight Chael Sonnen and destroy his leg like that pleaaaase lol
What’s with the racist silly comments.Why even refer to a guy as being an ape,when you know you wouldn’t dare say it to his face? We’re on this site watching fights and you have people typing $hit like this. One time I hope you slip and forget your not behind your computer and say s*** like this to someone in person and get your a$$ kicked..
seems like only certain folks get to view the main event vids on this site these days
Lombard Vs. Palhares 4 teh BiG winZ0r.
Guy is ridiculous. That’s scary BJJ. You gotta put that dude down fast. Or just grease like Marquardt.
the guy is still a f****** dick.
DavidJones he should get anderson next,and put him out of commission.
lol @ grape soda!
i have watched this man on two different occasions ignore screaming and tapping opponents, and refs physically trying to break the leg locks he had, to intentionally wreck a guys knee, i have zero respect for this man palhares and i do not think he belongs in this sport.
when he eventually does this to a high enough profile fighter, someone will get paid to take him out of the fight game permanently.
thankfully this time he actually broke the hold when he was supposed to, and did not require prolonged physical force to do so.
levercham,
I watched it over and over again and it looks like he lets go but look at the way he did let go and how that was when the screaming began. He did it again but it wasn’t as obvious
I’d love to see Palhares go at it with Chael. I dont think Chael would still be talking all the hate and bullshit against Brasil. Great technical skill by Palhares.
Go Paul Harris! lol
The only reason he did not let go the holds on his previous fights was because he was aware that some bull$hit fighters such as Chael Sonnen and Matt Lindland, among others, enjoy geting subbed and tapping to right after that say to the referee they did not tap.
@kalika
Come on don’t start with the racism s***.He called him a monkey because he looks like a monkey not because he’s brazilian.You making the link race/monkey is more racist then the guy calling him a monkey.He called him an ape because he’s 5 foot 2 and throws people around like chimps do…
oooooooooooooooooh my god i cant believe there is still some cry babies talking about the time he was in the brazilian competition if you cant take the good and bad that comes with this sport go watch ping pong or golf… i dont know how anyone else feels but i felt dana white gave all his brazilian fighters a bunch of bums to fight he wanted all brazilian fighters to win i know it sounds crazy but why would the reff stand up vitor belfort when rumble had a good position… 2wice!!! dont you guys think dana had something to do with it
Leave racism alone guys, this is a world sport. You have the choice to be ignorant right now, so just be easy and enjoy that too fighters worked hard in camp and someone won.
This guy would make the perfect Blanca if they redid Street Fighter… No but seriously would love this see him beat the living s*** out of Sonen
to murell : i dont think he can beat anderson, anderson matches up good against him and can definetely knock palhares out, possibly very quickly. with chael he matches up perfect, and i would bet all my money on palhares on that case, but against silva..not looking so good for palhares,he’s shorter slower has and has no stand up, think about it.
Tell me how referring to a big strong man with no mention of his ethnicity as an ape is racism please. The people saying that calling him an ape is racist are being the racist ones. No one said he is an ape because of his background. They were referring to his size, strength and raw animal power. Obviously some of you need to check yourselves with your holier than thou b.s. You are saying that Brazilians resemble apes and that it should be taboo to mention a Brazilian man and an ape in the same sentence. That’s some racist stuff.
Anderson Silva has been so dominant for so long I haven’t bothered to keep ip with the division or pick a favorite but Palhares could ne my guy. Let’s see how he does against a top striker.
amazing lock application
Let the bandwagon jumping begin.
@KungFuLowKick
Let someone call your mum an ape and see how you feel then.All you guys saying its not racist and derogatory to calla person an ape,let someone call you or your family that and lets see your reactions then.Its all good till it happens to you.
I was pleasantly surprised that Palhares let go within an acceptable time from when the referee stepped in. Massenzio sat there trying to decide if he was going to tap – bad move, especially with Palhares.
For the record, I still think that Palhares is a dickwad for his previous instances of holding on well past the referee’s wishes to stop.
Phil Harris is a damn dirty ape!
Damn I wouldn’t wanna fight this guy with those sick leg locks especially since he is a dirty fighter!
people should tap as soon as he gets the leg lol before losing the limp for good.
