Dana White: Rousimar Palhares released from the UFC (updated) - MMA Fighting
Good riddance.
Pretty lackluster event, even though the sweeps by Sheilds were impressive, I am a Maia fanboy (that brutal nose squirting crank/submission), really wanted to see him challenge for the title.
FOTN went to the ladies on TUF for me.
OMG is the Melendez v Sanchez the best fight ever in the UFC, what a fuckin insane fight........
It was a lot of fun, but there are plenty of better fights... Gus vs Jones or Hendo vs Shogun for example.
Looking forward to this one...
