Thiago vs Hamill will be interesting. Sort of striker vs wrestler, but Hamill likes to strike too.

Palhares is one mean F#cker! I felt for Pierce as he most likey thought his knee is done? Hope he’s OK. I truely think paul harris likes hurting poeple as its been a big problem for him in mma and bjj. (from what I have heard and saw) I wonder what will happen?
UFC just realesed Palhares, 2x he has held submissions way to long and was caught on the juice 1x. He has done this twice now and this is probably the worst thing you can do in this game period!! Possibly ending someone career like that, you know what good on ya Dana and the UFC. A little harsh maybe but what if he really does damage after the tap and ruins someone’s career.
