Rousimar Palhares
Rousimar “Toquinho” Palhares is the Brazilian leg-lock specialist whose heel hooks were as dangerous as any submission in MMA. He was cut by the UFC in 2013 for holding a heel hook on Mike Pierce after the tap, after an earlier suspension for doing the same to Tomasz Drwal.
He then won the World Series of Fighting welterweight title and defended it twice, before being stripped and suspended for holding a kimura and eye-gouging Jake Shields in 2015. CagePotato covered the controversies in detail.
