WSOF’s Josh Burkman defends Rousimar Palhares’ performance at WSOF 9

WSOF welterweight standout Josh Burkman might have a more educated opinion than most on whether Rousimar Palhares held a heel hook too long on Steve Carl, because it happened right in front of him. “I was sitting down by the cage with (WSOF matchmaker) Ali (Abdelaziz) and (WSOF President) Ray (Sefo),” Burkman told MMAjunkie. From his vantage point, Burkman saw the sequence that led to Carl’s fight-ending tapout in the first round of Carl (21-4) vs. Palhares (16-6), which headlined this past Saturday’s WSOF 9 at Las Vegas’ Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. Despite a renewed debate on Palhares’ sportsmanship , or lack thereof, Burkman (27-10), who knocked out Tyler Stinson (27-10) earlier on the weekend fight card, is convinced the Brazilian submission specialist did nothing wrong.
