I Hate Rousimar Palhares

  I'm sure he is a nice enough person, my real issue with the fighter is how he makes me feel inferior.  Jon Fitch is ten times the grappler I could ever hope to be; yet Palhares simply did what he does best.  It is no secret that the Brazilian prefers leg attacks.  When a grappler like Fitch proves unable to fend him off.  It terrifies me! How quickly could this monster present, a commoner like myself, with a permanent limp?  Every time he snatches hold of an opponent's legs I cringe on my sofa. I pray they tap before he cripples them.  A cold sweated nightmare startles me from late night slumber. Immersed in irrational paranoia, I beg my wife to check beneath the bed for the knee-reaper.
  17 wins, 14 by way of submission. His last 3 wins have all come within the first 2 minutes of the fights. In fact, in total he hasn't fought a collective 5 minutes in these wins.  Of the 14 submissions all, but 3 have come by heel hook or knee bar.
  Palhares is one of few, that are able to submit multiple, high level, fighters utilizing the same submission. Of Rhonda Rousey's 10 MMA wins only the last 2 have ended with out an arm bar. Those 8 submission wins all came in the first round with the exception of  the second fight with Meisha Tate. Tate was able to last until :58 of the third round before tapping to her second Rousey arm bar. Tate is the only fighter to get out of the first round with the undefeated UFC champion.
  Cody McKenzie rattled off 10 straight, first round Guillotine Choke wins.  Opponent's certainly watched film of these 3 submission fighters, prior to their respective bouts, yet still fell prey to their signature holds.   
  In much the same way that a striker is able to land their favorite kick or punch repeatedly, these submission specialists are able to disguise and master multiple set ups for their respective holds. This isn't to suggest they are one dimensional, but instead utilize striking, wrestling and BJJ to grab hold of their desired appendage and squeeze the fight out of their competition.
  The question now is who's knee is next for the WSOF Welterweight Champion?  I'll reluctantly peek between my fingers at the TV, hoping for an injury free knee bar.
