Good signing if you ask me. If the visits to the psychologist had any effects on him, Palhares is a very good signing and he has a good chance at winning the welterweight title.

True, there is a big difference in a guy like Demian Maia trying to gracefully use jiu jitsu and a beast like Palhares just trying to rip your leg off with brute force.

Exactly. I think Fitch will do everything correctly to defend it, it just might not be enough when you got a brute like Palhares trying to take your leg home with him. I think Fitch would pull it off, but I be worried depending on how big fitch was looking. I think Fitch is much better fighter and should win.
