Soooo, for anyone who saw it...what the hell is up with this guy? Guy taps, you keep the hold, ref pulls you, you keep the hold, both guys yell at you, THEN you break the hold? A shame this guy is a weirdo. He had some potential at WW.
The UFC has cut him, and Dana pretty much said he won't fight in the UFC again, comparing him to Paul Daley.
He also missed out on what would have been Sub of the Night ($50,000).
Too harsh? Just right? Not enough? Thoughts.

taking away sub of the night is ok.. kicking him out of ufc not right... stern yelling at definately ok..
gotta listen to the ref... i understand not realizing your opponent is tapping... but when the ref says to break you break.

Here's my 2 centz.
I think firing him is acceptable in this case for 2 BIG reasons.
1) Mainly this - he has done it before and been suspended by the athletic commission (not the UFC) for doing it 2) As a result of holding on too long, Pierce could be out for 6 months.
As a mixed martial ARTIST, your job is to control yourself. This is not a street fight. His manager said he zones out in combat and can;t hear stuff like his corner. WHAT? Okay, cool, but he is not the only one in there and this is not a battle t5o the death. Once the ref stops it, it's over. Holding a sub after that is no different than punching a guy after the bell. It's assault. That is what this was.

didn't know he has done this before... thats different Sorry, I didn't notice this post before Yeah, once before in the UFC, and another time he started celebrating before a fight was over, climbed up the cage and everything. Ref had to get him down and get the fight back on. AWKWARD. And people say he did it sometimes in grappling tournaments. But he has another booking now in a grappling tourney, so....yeah....life after being a weirdo I guess.
