The CEO of Bellator MMA wants nothing to do with disgraced UFC fighter Rousimar Palhares -- telling us the UFC's decision to fire him this week was spot on.

In case you missed it ... Palhares was axed less than 24 hours after his Wednesday night fight against Mike Pierce atin Brazil -- where R.P. held onto an ankle lock way after the bell rang, for the second time in his UFC career.
