#107I can explain it. Fighters sometimes like to "fake" shots to bait or deceive their opponent, I think Shamrock realized mid way through his setup/fake that Franklin caught him in it and it was too late for Shamrock to do anything about it and what you then see is a reaction to what he expects to get hit by and at the same time being completely off balance... Hard to understand, but try to.. Thousands of fights happen chances are you are going to get some crazy shit happen from time to time..Comment -

UFC 167
Hendricks got robbred, clearly beat GSP.
Dana White rigged the match before the fight began
Mir and Couture rigged their fights to Brock Lessnar.
Why? Lessnar brings in money even though he is not nearly as talented as most fighters.
This comes from Dan Frye, who used to fight UFC in the early days
A lot of fighters are on record as saying most matches are fixed.
Anderson Silva took 'a dive' often.
Taktarov v. Anthony Macias
Buddy Albin, the fight promoter told Macias before the fight, "if you don't lose this fight, you'll never fight no rules again"
In the old days, the UFC was built around a one-night tournament at each event. At UFC 6 in Casper, Wyo., Taktarov was part of said eight-man tournament, one to crown a new Ultimate Fighting champion. Macias was one of the alternates.
Things went hinky when Oleg's opponent in the semifinals, kickboxer Pat Smith, got a case of the nerves. Claiming stomach cramps, he pulled out of the fight. Famously, he was seen eating ham sandwiches later that night at the after party.
So Macias it was. Waiting for the winner in the finals was street fighter David "Tank" Abbott. Everything seemed normal on the surface. Alternates were a fact of life in the UFC and one, Steve Jennum, had even managed to win UFC 3.
But things aren't always as they seem.
You could tell there was going to be trouble before the fight even started when announcer Jeff Blatnick ominously informed the audience that Oleg and Macias "both have the same promoter, Buddy Albin, who has chosen to go in Taktarov's corner for this particular fight."
That's what you might call a conflict of interest.
Andy Anderson, who was in Anthony's corner, explained how it went down in the locker room in Clyde Gentry's book No Holds Barred:Everyone knew that Oleg was going to need every ounce of strength he had to beat Tank. Buddy Albin told Macias that if you don't lose this fight, you will never fight again in another no-rules fight, ever.Macias, a striker, charged in immediately for a takedown. Taktarov caught him in a choke and, like that, it was all over. It took only nine seconds.
"You have to wonder," Blatnick said.
"You've got to be honest," color man Jim Brown agreed, going further, calling the legitimacy of the bout into question.
"Jim, I know what you're thinking," play-by-play announcer Bruce Beck added, siding with Brown. "I'm thinking the same thing.
"
"I wasn't really happy about the whole thing of friendship," Brown concluded.
After the bout, Guy Mezger, who trained both men, consoled a despondent Macias. Oleg beat Tank in the finals when the big man ran out of breath. The precious seconds Macias bought him paid off brilliantly.
For his trouble, Macias would never fight in the UFC again.

Dana White is the puppeteer, all the fighters are his puppets.
White is a Vince McMahon wannabe, only difference is Vince is a genius at what he does, White is a buffoon.Comment -

The Taktarov fight yes, but that was early in the dark ages of the UFC, and done by the manager, not by the fighters.
Mir rigged their fight? Mir was getting beaten to a pulp, then gets a lucky submission so Brock LOSES, you realize this right? And Couture the 50 year old, LHW has to rig getting beaten by the literal MONSTERIOUS 275 pound Brock Lesnar?
Damn, this is some funny shit.Comment -

#112Anderson took a dice often in his what, 5 losses? One by flying heel hook and the other by breaking his penetrating leg in half, thats certainly the easiest way to take dives.

#113u ever see the way Barboza fake that leg kick and Etmin did a masterful job of looking like he got hit and than crashing to the mat dribbling his head off the canvas? I think I even saw him wink when he didn't notice the camera was on him. He did wait to wink ten minutes after he was faking his nap.Comment -

#135Japanese MMA was as dirty as Phoenix MAries puss.
Yeah Lorenzo is so cool and mafia but he doesnt do shit! Watch the damn fights and tell me this shit is rigged. Oh yyeah Silva popped his leg..shit was so rigged...oh Koschecks KO was so rigged...Edsons death kick was so rigged.
Dont give me that crap!
There are some scumbag judges that got exposed by Defacto a long time ago and the whole structure of how to get to be a judge and be seen as a qualified one to be able to judge high profile bouts is corrupted. These italians and their little fatso friend arent doing shit!Comment -

Get off of Dana White's rooster already dude.
Everytime you go to one of his circus MMA events, he laughs all the way to the bank.

#140Excellent clip Sider. Unfortunately this is just a microcosm of media corruption that happens everyday. This kind of manipulation goes on everyday by Fox, MSNBC, CNN & other establishment media in all it's forms (newspapers, magazines, radio shows, etc.) in order to hide corporate & gov't corruption. For those that are asleep they truly do live in a Matrix.Comment
