its also right in the video they communicated right before the very plausible but seemingly not-so-violent takedown occured. and your comment that im responding to is invalid; no certainty can be surmised from the video. UFC is worse than NFL in terms of demand for rigging. the hurdle i think you cant get past is how they beat the fuck out of each other if it's theater. my hypothesis is that the opponents are matched fairly fair and coded messages encouraging losing, rule breaking, advise from management, or even punishment if they sucseed are rellayed from time to time. there's lots of money in these fights. what if the reigning champion has a sick day and just wants sick pay? or what if you could win the fight or your knee could give out so you request a no-contest agreement? these fighters could have bookees right there. the majority of the income generated from these fights and NFL is gambling. the good criminals dont get caught.
