A look at Palhares and why the kimura isn't a submission to hold to after the tap
Rousimar Palhares is perhaps the most dangerous submission artist in MMA today. Both Jon Fitch and Jake Shields, two very accomplished grapplers in their own right, have felt the sting of a Palhares submission hold.
The controversy that has always surrounded "Toquinho" has been how long he holds his submissions for and the force that he puts into them long after the tap.
His most recent win this past Saturday was marred by eye gouging controversy and a lengthy submission hold.
