View Full Version : Fights you suspect were worked
After watching Herring/Nog in the ufc I think herring may have been paid to throw that shit.

Yes
what a surprise shit gets trolled horrendously in 8 seconds. you mods fucking blow in here.
all of the recent Minowa fights
...
And I disagree on Herring/Nog. I really don't understand why people give Heath so much shit for it. He rocked Nog, pounced and tried to finish, then when he felt he wasn't going to, stood it back up. This is Nog we're talking about, people. He looked impossible to KO, and sick subs.
Plus, does anyone really think that someone felt the need to fix a fight that was looked at as a guaranteed win for Nog?

its not like i have fucking proof lol. but it just looked weird. who the fuck rocks someone, then loses complete confidence in like 30 seconds. and doesnt push the pace at all?
herring never fought like that one other time.

I just never made sense of that one being worked in others minds is all.
Franklin/Shamrock seemed worked. In fact, most Shamrock fights smell funny.

im about 60% convinced herring took a paycheck to throw that shit.
and shamrock was falling before franklin hit him.
But I suppose it could have been a slip. Looks goofy as hell in slo-mo, but a lot of things do.

Anderson silva was dominated by both oponents.
Pride is known for fixing fights and putting over japanese cans.
silva vs takese was not even competitive.
silva vs chonan, silva started strong, but chonan was winning the fight. anderson nuthuggers say anderson was kicking his ass before the sub, but even mauro renallo commented about how chonan was winning the fight before the sub. And that sub, when do you ever see something like that in a mma match. The fact that it was so amazing is doubt enough.
Also take into consideration chonan. Silva couldn't knock him out for the life of him, but this is a guy who would lose to phil baroni and dan henderson via KO months later.

12-04-2009, 01:15 AM
look at the gif, i've seen it before but never noticed how his feet go inward before the punch ever lands. MMA journalist always so his knees gave out, im assuming they say this to give credibility to the integrity of the sport so i never really watched the gif that closely and kinda just toko their word on it for whatever reason. But look at it, he jump up on his tippy toes as if to anticipate the dive hes gonna take and curls his feet inward and then flies back when franklin throws the punch, and the punch never landed. Im pretty much sold now, shamrock is a disgrace but whats new.

Everybody knows for a fact that some of them were works. That puts doubt on every other fight imo.
the worked fights were pretty early in their history and were obvious even the announcers knew it, i think one of the ones i remember was coleman takada where coleman was dominating then all of a sudden gave up position for no reason and go foot locked or some shit. The announcers were bas and quadros i think and they both just basically admitted it was a work in so many words right then and there.

worked fights are usually pretty obvious.

agreed
if the work was obvious they would just say it really
and theres so much work paranoia by people who missed out on pride when it was around
hahahah faggots just admit that you didnt have the knowledge

look at the gif, i've seen it before but never noticed how his feet go inward before the punch ever lands. MMA journalist always so his knees gave out, im assuming they say this to give credibility to the integrity of the sport so i never really watched the gif that closely and kinda just toko their word on it for whatever reason. But look at it, he jump up on his tippy toes as if to anticipate the dive hes gonna take and curls his feet inward and then flies back when franklin throws the punch, and the punch never landed. Im pretty much sold now, shamrock is a disgrace but whats new.
I would say shammy threw the fight more than it being a "work"; ie both fighters being aware of the outcome
so dumb
like shammy needs to throw a fight to lose lmao

I watched Pride events as and when they happened.
And you're the faggot for claiming superiority simply because you seem to think you watched a Japanese freak show org before others.

i'd look into this....kimbo looked too good and houston was running from him....houston may be a crappy fighter but he don't backpeddle.....makes me curious

jesus burt
after watching it 3 times i would put it in the possible list i guess. houston fought completely different than all his fights. looked weird but not really enought to say. he may have been hurt or sick or dumb enough to believe kimbo had decent power.

Houston was scared shitless of Kimbo, if you think that was a work you're being pretty fucking stupid ao

i think it might be possible but im not sure. learn to read.
why the fuck would he be scared of kimbo? he wasnt scared of anyone else. thiago, sakara, jardine. after kimbo hit him a few times you'd think he engage by then.

houston had the worst gameplan in the history of mma. All that hype he talked and then he just ran around what a fucking turd.
