Fight Nights Global has become known for having some of the most exciting main events in recent history, with event after event ending in dramatic fashion. Few fighters know about drama as much as Rousimar Palhares (19-8-1) has been released from both UFC and WSOF, both off of wins, because he failed to release leg locks after the referee had ended the fight.
Palhares has remained a controversial figure since his initial UFC departure, but his ability to snatch a sickening leg lock is ever present and undefeated Aliaskhab Hirzriev (11-0) will have to be ever vigilant to avoid a sad ending to his night.
This FNG Welterweight Championship match was perfectly chronicled by a video package released by the organisation.
