Rousimar Palhares has a habit or calling his own fights. You know just sort of ignoring the referee.
At UFC Rio (134) he landed a devastating headkick on Dan Miller and a followed up with powerful punches on the ground and then…um…well…he…um…he stopped punching…and then climbed the cage in a euphoric victory celebration!
That is until Herb Dean went over to the fence and politely said something to the effect, “We’re having a fight over here in the ring. Would you like to come down and join us you crazy little monkey man?! WTF dude?”.
(There’s gotta be a nickname for Rousimar, surely people don’t say that whole name when they want to say, “Rousimar would you like to go to the movies?” or “Rousimar do we need to get you a sports psychologist to get over the weird ignoring the referee thing?”.)
Palhares did go on to win a decision in the fight, but this isn’t his first strange behavior in the UFC octagon.
See a weird video of Palhares behavior Fight Night 22 after the jump.
During UFC Fight Night: Marqaurdt vs. Palhares, Palhares attempted a heel hook on Nate Marquardt. Marquardt slipped out his grasp.
Then something strange happened – Palhares went from being one of the best MMA fighters in the world – to being one of the crapiest lawyers in the world.
He starting pleading his case that Marquardt had greased himself to Herb Dean. The problem with this little courtroom drama is that Nate Marquardt apparently doesn’t like lawyers because he turned on Palhares and proceeded to violently beat him about the face and head. So violently in fact that Herb Dean stopped the fight and declared Marquardt the winner.
Palhares’ complaints of greasing were checked out then and there after the fight by the referee and Nate Marquardt was found “not guilty”.
We’re looking forard to Palhares next fight. He’s like the Benny Hill of MMA running around the ring pantomiming and just doing wacky schtick.
Check the vid. It’s short.
