When you have been in the game that long you know exactly what a tap on your leg feels like, and it doesn't feel like a strike. IMO he should be cut from the UFC, this isnt the first time he has done that.
Wow, really? Haven't you seen his other holds? Out of all of them this one you want a cut? ...lol
Not only is that unsportsmanlike, but it's also reckless, and needlessly dangerous. Obviously this isn't the first time he's done this. How many more times does this shit need to happen, and how many more people need to be needlessly hurt, before someone does something about it? I really hope Palhares gets cut, or at the very least fined and suspended (and I agree with the above poster that this is worse than the Babalu RNC, as a heel hook can seriously fuck someones ankle and leg up). That dude is a classless asshole, and then he even has the audacity to get on his knees and point up to god like he is some holy roller after he just unrelentingly fucked Pierces ankle and leg up. There is no justification for what he is continuously doing with his excessive cranking of his heel hooks.

You are supposed to not let go on a tap. Iirc paul harris got burned in the past letting go and having the ref miss it. There was only a brief moment where he held it past where the ref was clearly stepping in.

Tough call. Fine but no cut imo.
You let go when the ref says so, not when the fighter taps.
if they cut babalu for holding a blood choke too long, palhares should be cut and banned from the UFC for holding a fucken heel hook way too long. that was just unacceptable and not the first time he's pulled this crap.
