Anyone thinks that main event looked rigged for under or over? Why he didn't rush him at the beginning of the 3rd Cormier was dying in his corner.i don't get that .

The co-main event was the fight that was rigged
Huge bets made on the heavy underdog and the favorite goes down easy without even being hit and lays there like a bitch. Then fakes leg injury to cover it upComment -
No. But I like your theoryComment -
They all fixing those fights ,problem is that the fighters are not getting paid enough.Originally posted by big joe 1212Comment -
most fixed because fighters brokeComment -
Naw, I saw him fight an Asian guy and O'Malley had the same problem. Only difference was it was near the end of the fight that he hurt his ankle. He has preexisting problems with his ankles.Originally posted by big joe 1212Comment -
Why stipe didnt jump on daniel at the beginning of the 3rd?Comment -
he was hurt before the fight......some knewOriginally posted by big joe 1212Comment -
I haven't looked into the recent injury.Originally posted by PaperTrail07
Was it he same? You think the injury pre fight was playing a factor?
I did see how he tripped up and that probably wasn't intentional. That's a legit compromised position for the ankle, even if it only hurts that first day or so you sprain it.
I'm not thinking he was faking that injury, he put weight ballerina style and crumbled under it.
That shit can hurt and really make it hard to compete right after you hurt it.Comment -
lmao @ this thread. Whenever someone loses big money, the event or game is "rigged". Whatever makes you feel better about the loss, i guess.Comment -
O'malley has had nothing but problems with his knee/leg, have you seen his prior fights?Originally posted by big joe 1212Comment -
There was chatter the day before on fight forums that his ankle/leg was hurt......it was noticed on tape.....Originally posted by KVBComment -
lol unless it spits in your face like boxing, I get what your saying LOL....Originally posted by frankieunits2685Comment -
I will agree on boxing. I just feel like you never hear anyone saying that fight/game was rigged when they win big money. Then its all about “how they knew it was going to happen.”Originally posted by PaperTrail07
It’s definitely been blatant in boxing for awhile.Comment -
I’ve seen him fight before but don’t follow to closely. I bet against him when I heard about that large wager on the big underdog. I figured that guy knew something to bet like that.Originally posted by frankieunits2685
So Frankie, no, I’m not crying. I won the fight. I just assumed it Maybe was fixed And didn’t assume pre fight injury.Comment -
it's simple to look that information up before you make an accusation of a fixed fight. you literally said, "the fight was rigged" congrats on your win though :Originally posted by big joe 1212

oh 1000% LIVE ACTION rigging to me is the most funny call out LOL....like he ducked into it LMAO....Originally posted by frankieunits2685Comment -
it was internet sarcasm (I know it's hard to see sarcasm on a keyboard), I was implying that if any fight was rigged, it looked like the co-main eventOriginally posted by frankieunits2685it's simple to look that information up before you make an accusation of a fixed fight. you literally said, "the fight was rigged" congrats on your win though :
I really wouldn't be surprised if some of these fights are rigged. Most of these guys don't make big $$$ and are still working full time jobs to feed their familyComment -
One fight that does honestly still sticks with me is worthy vs smith......im not saying it is rigged and worthy has looked good-but smith didn't bring it 100%....was his buddy and it opened a door for worthy.....there are those angles as well as "rigged".......he is an ohio guy and his sister just got shot and killed DT so I'm def feeling for the guy-but also wonder if it is why he has not fought after that...prayers are w the departed...

Why will they rig the fights based on what lines books set the fights? It doen't make any sense.Comment -
Because mma fights are very tough and both fighters were tired at that point, 5 round fights almost always slow down after the second round.Originally posted by polskboyComment -
I guess I'm using the word "rigged" incorrectly
I'm trying to say a fighter might lose on purpose as he will have someone bet heavy $ on the other guy to beat him.
So basically only a couple guys know they are going to lose on purpose
Pretty simple, the fighter might not be earning much money to fight, so he makes a wager (or somebody pays him to flop).
In the UFC, losing a single fight is not that big of a deal. You'll always get another chance.Comment -
Isn't it easier to train and having everyone on your team bet money on you to win? Why will you try to lose on purpose when you can win and make money two ways?Originally posted by big joe 1212Comment -
There's unwritten rules to MMA. Stipe knew he poked him in the eye. Stipe might have 5 rounders with Ngannou or Jones coming up. So he wants that Octagon time. Imo.. or he just couldnt.Comment -
100% not true.....only known names get more chances and they are less likely to be on the take IMO.....Originally posted by big joe 1212Comment -
If it was that simple, nobody would ever lose.Originally posted by pavyracer
I'm not talking about the top ranked guys, I'm talking about guys with records like 23-12-1, etc. These guys not making top $ and will never get a title shot. One loss does not hurt them much.
Are we acting like nobody has ever flopped before? I believe it's well documented that it happens.Comment
