Rousimar Palhares signs new four-fight deal with UFC: (via tatame.com)

"(Palhares) is very motivated, he wants to fight Nate Marquardt again, he made a mistake. He wants this fight pretty bad and he’s training for it" said Murilo Bustamante.

Rousimar "Toquinho" Palhares (11-3)
Loss Nate Marquardt - TKO (Punches) UFC FN 22
Win Tomasz Drwal - Submission (Heel Hook) UFC 111
Win Lucio Linhares - Submission (Heel Hook) UFC 107

I'm sure he'll never do that again. Nate shouldn't feel super proud of that victory

[end it with a left]

Yeah other than Nate winning I was really dissappointed with how that fight ended. It definately had the makings of a good war

[carbondioxide830]

^it's rousimar's own fault even though he had a right to be suspicious given marquardt's history (as a semi-dirty fighter).

i've been drolling over a palhares/maia fight, but i dont think the ufc brass would have much interest in that. it'd be a good fight to chael if he does end up sitting through his suspension and returns next year.

a fight w/ munoz also has my interest.

I am really hoping that Rousimar gets a break out win. He fought Henderson hard and really dropped the ball against Nate. Hopefully his last loss, being that it ended in weird circumstances, did not hurt his stock with Zuffa and he gets a tough fight. I personally want to see him fight someone along the lines of Alan Belcher, if he is fully recovered.

I dont care who needs the wins to take place or losses we need to see "Toquinho"/Maia in a cage, So ima hope Maia loses his next bout and Palhares comes out with a W against whomever he fights. Give me this fight plzzzz Joe Silva

[IceCold48]

i wanna see palhares fight a striker again. the marquart fight doesnt count to me in terms of how he stacks up agaisnt top strikers in the division. i think he is a serious contender but this loss will hold him back title implications wise even though he probably was the better fighter and stood a better chance with okami imo.

Just curious what makes Nate a dirty fighter ? Haven't seen any evidence of that in the fights I've seen of his.

I dont want to see him again, in fact I don't understand how he wasn't cut and is instead rewarded with 4 more fights after that last amateur mistake.

[MickeyKnox]

After that nasty mistake he made against Nate, he should definitely fight that one guy...

What's his name again? Supposedly just made a few mistakes in his last match as well...

Oh yeah. Gerald Har-...

Oh wait... yeah, nevermind.

I really hope Palhares eventually makes it back to a rematch with Marquardt, although, there's sooo many interesting matches for him. He would matchup nicely with almost any MW in the division. Maia would be superb.
