However, I have to wonder how many more times he can do this gameplan before he gets a chat with Dana about "fucking finish the fights", because even for a dominant performance, there was a lot of booing in the later rounds.
Well, there was his own negative view of his performance afterward, and there's video up of his post-match... asking backstage how he messed up the technique enough that Hardy didn't tap or snap. Failure to launch, but not for want of trying.
Shane Carwin might be a national champ but it was Div III or something. I guess we'll see whether Brock's self repair systems work correctly.
Division II; this was briefly a plot point in their verbal feuding.
Here's a rundown of their stats.
Palhares has been suspended for 90 days for failing to release a submission. He can say all he wants, but he cranked the shit out of that knee even once the guy had tapped and the ref was in his face. Drwal will be lucky to be walking again in 90 days.
This gets more iffy... according to Bloody Elbow's resident Brazilian poster "orcus," Palhares was not apologetic with Rogan and it was actually Bustamante who put the apology in. Moreover, Palhares is apparently a repeat offender at this, though he used the "prevent feigned taps that the ref can't see" excuse... then outright accused past opponents of greasing. (For an amusing example of what Palhares meant, see Joe Warren vs. Bibiano Fernandes.)

One final note. Fuck stand ups. Fuck breaking up clinches. As Rogan puts it "If you can't get out of it yourself, then that's your problem".
How funny that you should say this...
