The continued threat of Rousimar Palhares
In one of the best shown Spike TV fights, and sadly one of the last, Rousimar Palhares improved his record in unusual fashion to 13-3 at UFC Rio. Palhares is a definite middleweight contender and without a few silly mistakes would be a lot closer to a shot at the title, but for now he’s still one or two fights away. The Bisping vs. Miller Loser, or the Leben vs. Munoz winner would both be perfect challenger eliminator fight.

Before losing in his last bout unanimously to Nate Marquardt, the AMA fighter was riding a two fight win streak, after he had dropped three straight. Palhares is aggressive and will look to rip off the New Jersey’s leg for a Brazilian mantelpiece tomorrow night.
