After garnering attention for a series of bizarre incidents in recent fights and grappling competitions, UFC middleweight, Rousimar Palhares is now seeing a sports psychologist. His manager, Alex Davis, spoke to MMA Junkie Radio:
"It's a mixture of things. There are a lot of variables. Yes, Rousimar is a very simple person. He comes from a very simple background. He comes from a background that somebody here in the United States would have a very, very hard time understanding. But he does tend to go on automatic a lot, and that's something we are trying to straighten out."

Don't worry,
I have a sneaking suspicion they’ll find the the psychologist crawling down the hallway with two mangled legs.

i made that comparison a while back,
after seeing the grappling match he had where he slapped his opponent’s neck harder than what was comfortable and then sunk in a kneebar that was held on for a bit longer than necessary. it’s scarier than most people think.

Hundreds of professional athletes see sports psychologists. It’s not uncommon. Pretty sure a ton of baseball and football players do. It’s good that Paul Harris is trying to work out some kinks though.

Yup, I saw an interview with him where he talks about being so poor that his family had to steal and eat pig feed from the farm they worked on just to survive. Since more Americans are overweight than not its pretty safe to say most of us can’t identify with that. I actually can’t bring myself to root against him knowing his background even though he has dickishly held on to some subs for to long.
I'm gonna give you three seconds; exactly three-fucking-seconds to wipe that stupid looking grin off your face or I will gouge out your eyeballs and skull-fuck you!
although I will add that hogs feed must build strong muscles because he’s freakin jacked.

As a fan, I’m all for him getting his head right(er). As long as he’ll still shred Chael’s knees someday.

I bet he just hears yhe screams of all the poor fighters whose legs he mangled when he tries to sleep at night

I think they mean “simple” as in a simple lifestyle and background as opposed to our “complex” wealthy lifestyle.
But maybe they are referring to him as retarded ..which is either brave or dumb
