Bet suspicion of U.S. $ 1 million in Chris Weidman is investigated, says site
Name of the punter has not yet been revealed, but value is not uncommon in MMA
For Combate.com Las Vegas, USA
Conspiracy theories that say that the fight between Anderson Silva and Chris Weidman had a suspicious result may have won an argument on Monday. According to the website "Middle Easy", a bet worth $ 1 million (about U.S. $ 2.2 million) in the victory of Chris Weidman against Anderson Silva in the main event of UFC 162 was being investigated by police and Gaming Control Board, the body that regulates gambling in casinos in the city. The gambler's identity has not been revealed, but the high value aroused suspicions of the authorities, not being an amount common in MMA fights, even throughout major events and major American casinos. The premium to be paid would be $ 3.2 million - about £ 7 million.
The favorite on the betting exchanges was Anderson Silva, who had never lost in 16 fights in the UFC, and held many records of the event. Already Weidman, even paying only 3.2 times more than the champion for every dollar wagered, was unbeaten in his career, having won all nine fights as a professional had done.
For determination of Justice, the research runs a secret court, and the details can not be disclosed publicly.

Wasnt this in the "rumour mill" section, which means any clown could write it up?!
And $1,000,000 isnt much is it in Vegas gambling terms?Comment -
Was it in Vegas? Thats pretty standard over there I hearComment -
Probably just some dude with a helipad.Comment -
can't find the article on middleeasy yet..Comment -
oooo i seeComment -
Loader honestly i don't think the fight was fixed. It is the one's that go to a decision when u know everyone is one one side and somehow the judges always see it for the books side. I think if im Anderson i would have tapped to the leg lock if it was rigged and not have my head smashed bouncing off the mat like a basketball.Comment -
Not that I've ever tried, but I think it would be pretty much impossible to get a million down on a MMA fight in vegas, boxing maybe. I've had to get manager reviews for $500 bets.Comment -
This is what I thought. Most guys said it was easier to bet mma online a few years ago than in Vegas. Said limits were shit andd I rarely have seen people actually get over 20k down on mma.
Heck Pinny dropped cbb down to what 5k or 2.5k???Comment -
I remember back 15 years ago i was in Caesar's palace and they had two separate lines for 5 grand and above (besides the others). I had this fuk on another site tell me Vegas doesn't take bets that big. I said the line was forty deep u jit stain and yes they do take bets that big. Fuker was steaming screaming i was wrong. My Uncle who lived in Vegas at the time went down to Caesars Palace stood in front of the sign and took a picture. I posted it for all to see and this jackass still wouldn't believe it. He turned the conversation around and said that i said there would be 40 people in the line lol. This is what u deal with some of these assholes on the net. The couple guys that really hated me on that site sided with him LMFAO. One of the rare times i had an avatar. A pic of my uncle pointing to that sign.Comment -
Mayweather could prolly put down anything he wants. I think 50 cents said Money is losing all his money. Why wouldn't u let him put anything he wanted? Man could u imagine being with Money when he loses like ten in a row. Prolly why he beat the shit out of his old lady.Comment -

Nevada Gaming Control Board shoots down rumored $1 million bet on Chris Weidman, investigation

The end result of UFC 162's main event was so stunning, the internet exploded with bizarre theories and rumors soon afterward. From Anderson Silvathrowing the fight to the idea that he simply had no interest in winning, baseless speculation was abundant.
One rumor that gained steam came from the offbeat website MiddleEasy.com, which posted an item saying that "someone allegedly bet $1 million on Chris Weidman" in Las Vegas, and that the wager was being investigated.
That quickly gained steam. Brazil's influential Globo wrote about it soon afterward, and several American sites soon followed. The implication, given the unusually large wager, was that something was amiss. It got so bad that major sites felt compelled to offer reasons why Silva wouldn't throw the fight.
The thing is, there is zero proof of the bet's existence. In fact, the man who would have knowledge of such a thing had never even heard of the rumor, let alone the bet.
Nevada Gaming Control Board chief of enforcement Jerry Markling confirmed to MMA Fighting that his agency, which is tasked with criminal investigations related to gaming activities, is not looking into any $1 million wager related to UFC 162.
"While I cannot give you specific information about ongoing investigations, I can tell you that the Gaming Control Board is not investigating any dispute involving UFC 162 and a wager of that amount," he said. "In addition, we do not have any information of any book having accepted a wager of that size on that event."
One rumor debunked, but many others may continue to persist in some form. For those of us who refuse to wear tinfoil hats in the summertime, at least the possibility of a rematch has grown from doubtful to possible to probable in the days since the fight.

Rumors in Brazil) Minotauro Nogueira On Anderson Silva’s Loss: “If people knew what really happened in the defeat of Anderson, they would be disgusted.”
July 11, 2013 • Posted by Gile in BJJ News • • 33 comments
Some Brazilian Media are all over the rumors that Anderson Silva threw the fight against Chris Weidman. They are just rumors and should be treated as such. Here is a translation of what some Brazilian sources are saying. However we cannot find an official statement of Minotauro saying that in English or in Portuguese. This goes however in the same direction as the recent statement from mmafighting.com that Anderson Silva wants to rematch Chris Weidman again after all and wants the fight to happen soon as possible and this for a million dollar paycheck.
Source: UFC Bahia:
“Minotauro has declared the following statement: “If people knew what really happened in the defeat of Anderson, they would be disgusted.”
All Brazilians were shocked and saddened by Anderson having lost the belt in Vegas. But they don’t need to be. What is discussed below is the news firsthand being investigated by radio and newspapers throughout Brazil and some foreigners, specifically Wall Street Journal and Sports Gazette and the media should be released soon, and the evidence will confirm the facts.
Rumor: Anderson Silva SOLD the UFC belt. The fighter’s staff was advised, at 1:00pm on July 6 (Fight Day), at a meeting involving Dana White, Pedro Rizzo and Mr. Lorenzo Fertitta. At first they were very upset, and Anderson refused to sell the belt.
The acceptance came through the full payment of premiums, US$70K for each member of staff, plus a bonus of U.S$400K for the whole team, a total of US$23 million by Nike. Still, Anderson refused to participate.
Their situation was only resolved after the representative of Nike threatening to withdraw its lifelong sponsorship of the fighter, valued at more than US$90 million throughout his career. Thus, it was agreed that Anderson would be defeated by points, but the apathy that befell the fighter made Chris Weidman, who absolutely did not participate in this negotiation, TKO Anderson.
Dana White applauded the team collaboration of Silva, since the change of belt has brought balance to the category.”Comment -
Apparently, this is an article from the 1998 World Cup that was altered to have Anderson and Weidman in it. No idea if that's true.Comment -
