UFC MMA: Is there anyone else that thinks that a certain recent UFC fight could have been rigged?

[laurieluvsit]

OK, I know my audience is going to be small on this one because not that many GAG members are UfC fans but here goes.

My sisters, and I, practice MMA for self defense and keeping in shape purposes.

So we are watching the UFC 269 Nunes Pena fight and found it hard to believe what was happening in the 2nd round. We were like - "Nothing feels right about this!"

First, Amanda was not fighting at all like she normally does as it seemed like she almost had a reserved demeanor about her.

Second, she almost tapped immediately when Julianna put her in the rear naked choke and didn't even seem to be fighting it.

Third, when being interviewed at the end by Joe Rogan she didn't seem to be at all upset by the loss.

When you examine the betting odds, I mean it was overwhelmingly in favor of Amanda and highly against Julianna. Can you imaging the take home purse for anyone betting on Julianna to win this fight? It was enormous. No one expected Julianna to win, not even close.

OK, I am not accusing anyone of anything but when you smell a skunk, there might just be a skunk nearby.

Am I on an island all alone here?

If you saw the fight, what do you think? Do you think it is possible that any fights in the UFC could ever be rigged? ... just asking

No Laurie, there you are going off the deep end again. No way any fight could ever be rigged, get with the program girl!

I'm not saying this one was, but yes, it is posible for fights to be rigged

No, women can be moody, Amanda just wasn't having a good night that night is all

OTHER, see my comments below, or just open the "Rigged Fight" survey

You can get a good sense of the likelihood of shenanigans going on by figuring out how much money is being bet on an event and comparing that to the compensation of the athletes in the match. The thing to look out for is abnormally high betting volume compared to similar matches. Fixing is most common away from the top-end of any sport where there will be less attention and where the athletes themselves will have less money to make from legit competition. So if these are midling fighters and/or if women in the UFC don't really make that much to begin with then this would be quite possible, but you'd want to check for oddly high betting volume to really get suspicious.

I have been training and coaching Krav Maga for many years and have also been involved in the fight against terrorism in the army. That’s why I also watch and love the whole fighting theme. Wow I totally agree with you it was really weird and I had a feeling like the fighting was being conducted at the will of outsiders.

[laurieluvsit]

Wow, thank you, I wasn't sure if my sisters and I were needing psychiatric help... lol

It could also be something like she got the bio weapon Covid jab as well because that is effecting peoples health in many ways. It is still an experimental jab filled with toxins most people don't know about and Pfizer is refusing to disclose.

[Friendlybro79]

@jhonrembo Thank you for your service and more studied perspective regarding the fight being rigged or not.

@laurieluvsit I've gotten 3 shots of Pfizer and I feel great just saying. I'm not a trained fighter but even after my booster I still was able to wrestle all of my nephews. I pinned 3 of them, made two tap out (they were in the claw... Nothing they could do), and one giggle the entire time. Granted none are older than 7. But still. I walked out of this fight unscathed feeling like I'm at the top of my game.

[laurieluvsit]

@Friendlybro79 Not everyone is effected by it immediately.
In the 1980's there was a virus going around, I think it was the Swine Flu. They came out with a vaccine for it. 5 people died and the FDA immediately shut it down saying that 5 deaths was UNACCEPTABLE.
Hundreds of thousands of people have died from this DEATH JAB to date which the Communists that have taken over the US Federal Government subcontractors are making sure you don't hear about.
The chief Pfizer scientist resigned saying that no one taking the jab will live beyond 2-3 years,
Question: Why are all corporate officers and all employees of Pfizer and Moderna exempt from taking the jab? Why is the White house and all employees exempt from taking the jab. Why is Congress and the Senate and all staff and employees exempt from taking the jab? Why has the CEO of Pfizer said that he and his family will not be taking the jab? All this while at the same time forcing all Americans to take the jab? ... just asking.

It truly was a bad second round and quite strange since she usually lasts in longer and tougher fights.
some people say she might have had covid so her stamina was off and some say that cause she keeps changing weight class that this affects her stamina but I played sports professionally most of my life and I don't believe it would make that effect. so yeah maybe the match was rigged I can't tell for sure

[ZackBan]

I'm of a mind that all sports are rigged for ticket sales that's why you always see Cinderella stories and rivalries and all this stuff that gets people excited to watch more.

[Finchie40]

I wouldn’t doubt it , Why I don’t really watch sports any more most of it to me is rigged , NHL and NFL big time is rigged to me so I stopped wasting my time watching it

[Friendlybro79]

@Finchie40 outnof curiosity how do think the NHL is rigged?

[Finchie40]

The play offs mainly , it’s a money maker , when a team is losing like 3 games straight and then all of a sudden they come back like they are this amazing team and it goes to 6 or 7 games , It’s a huge money maker

[vald9inches]

[laurieluvsit]

😢😢😢

[laurieluvsit]

Wow, I know Dana White would not allow this in UFC.

This is another type of fight that would be rife with fraud I think

[Tstrbrainer]

I don't know.

Reverse question, is MMA an academy or organization or just a fighting technique?

[laurieluvsit]

MMA is a serious of the worlds best fighting skills all put together. UFC is an organization to promote MMA fights.

[Tstrbrainer]

Great.

Happy New Year.

[laurieluvsit]

Same for you!

[emperor90]

Anything can be rigged

[ScpFoundation]

İ missed Gına Carano

[ScpFoundation]

Why she left?

[laurieluvsit]

She went into acting starting with her lead role in the action film Haywire (2011). She performed in Fast & Furious 6 (2013) and Deadpool (2016)

[ScpFoundation]

İ know İ have seen her in Mandolarian last.. She is the best

[Kelly6]
