It doesn't look like Rousimar Palhares will ever fight again in the Octagon.

"He knew what he was doing that night," Dana White said on FOX Sports Live on Wednesday. "Apparently, there was some talk where Mike Pierce said some bad things and everything else. There is no place for that in this sport. You don't hold a leglock that long while the guy is tapping and you know he is tapping. Especially that's what Palhares is known for -- he's the best in the world in leglocks. What he did was wrong and really despicable what he did. He won't be back. He can go fight with another organization. We don't put up with that stuff here."

Palhares defeated Mike Pierce via submission in 31 seconds at UFC Fight Night 29. Despite being the only submission on the card, Palhares was not awarded the Submission of the Night bonus because of his unsportsmanlike conduct. He was released from his contract a couple of days later.

His manager Alex Davis told MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani that Palhares was "perplexed" by the UFC's decision to drop him from his contract.

"He's not perplexed. He's not perplexed at all. The bottom line is anybody who is involved in jiu-jitsu knows that is the nastiest submission you can put someone in. It's the dirtiest, nastiest submission in jiu-jitsu or in the sport of mixed martial arts. When you get it, and you know you got it, and the guy taps, you let go. And if you don't, I will cut you," White said.
