ESPN reporter Jeremy Schaap tweeted moments ago that UFC President Dana White confirmed to him during a TV show that Brazilian Rousimar “Toquinho” Palhares is banned from the UFC.
The measure is a result of Toquinho’s repeated infractions, including last night’s holding for too long the heel hook he used to defeat Mike Pierce on UFC Fight Night 29, in Barueri, Brazil.
Both the UFC and Dana White’s official Twitter accounts retweeted Jeremy Schaap’s tweet.
Last night’s infraction had already cost Toquinho the prize for submission of the night.
Palhares was coming back to the UFC after a 9-month suspension due to a positive drug test for elevated testosterone levels.
Before that, Palhares had already been punished for holding on to a heel hook for too long.
GRACIEMAG is still waiting for an official position from the UFC and Palhares.
Watch the video of Dana talking about Palhares.

O estilo dele e quebrar o adversário? Então tem que ir pra rua mesmo! Se fosse igual ao Minotauro, que não bateu, blz… mas o cara bateu umas 4 vezes!
Remove from the UFC.
Estilo??? Eh esporte meu fih neh briga de rua de rua n
he feels that he's a strong for that, but no. Maybe a moron. But not strong.
Agree… that was just ridiculous… Didn't even let go when the Ref was on him, just pulled it a bit more instead..
The heel hook is probably the most destructive moves one can do. Too not let go of that is as malicious as you can get. he deserves his termination from the UFC.
maksude mungkin arep diputungke sikile….ha ha ha

Stop is stop and it is for all fighters without exclusivity, so this guy deserve the punishment or been out.
