At UFC 134, Rousimar Palhares was involved in one of the most puzzling moments in UFC history. After rocking Dan Miller with a head kick, Palhares walked away and climbed the cage in celebration.
This was all well and good.
However, referee Herb Dean had not stopped the fight. When Dean informed Palhares that he had prematurely rejoiced, the bout resumed and Palhares was nearly knocked unconscious by Miller.
In the end, Palhares recovered and avoided what would have been one of the most jaw-dropping turn of events in MMA history. Still, this series of occurrences was still shocking to any fans watching.
In honor of another interesting blunder for Palhares, who was recently knocked out after accusing Nate Marquardt of greasing mid-fight, here are the top 50 most jaw-dropping moments in UFC history.
