Prediction: wrong Pierce   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 3  

Ive never seen a 170lb fighter with that much muscle, he makes guys like Tyron Woodley, Hector Lombard ect look small. The cut must of been hellacious for Treestump.

Palhares looked sick I think the cut might have been too much for him and coming from  2 1st rounds KO doesn't help his case, I'm going with Pierce on this one.

If Palhares was a plant they would of watered him with anabolics instead of water.

Ho. Ly. ****.

Looks like we just found another jiu-jitsu speciman who dropped from middleweight and convincingly beat a guy whose almost never been convincingly beat before.

The parallels between Paul Harris and Demian Maia are very interesting.

Prediction: wrong Pierce   wrong Decision  

Alot of people feel Palhares held that ankle lock too long, yet again. I have to agree, something needs to be done seeing this is not the first or even second time its happened...

Piece didn't have Dean Lister to help him get ready for Paul Harris like Belcher did.  

I'm glad he was denied the bonus.  He really needs to learn to ******* control himself.

Yeah I agree, he could really injure someone and possibly end their career with that ****.

Yeah but I'm pretty sure it's not the first time he has held onto the submission too long
