Mayorga is going over to MMA?

[rjj tszyu]

Don't you think UFC will negotiate with fighters to force the fight standing at least for sometime at the beginning? If there is no KO at that initial minutes, then I guess it will soon finish on the ground. After all UFC fighters can take the chance of having sevearl loses and still be at the top, different from boxing where the 0 losses has a lot of weight. With this I am not saying that Mayorga will win, just that UFC can try to make this fight more entertaining and man, if a negotiation like this happen Mayorga has power.

This is classed as match-fixing, and a HUGE no-no in MMA. This exact thing happened with the Elite XC MMA promotion and it turned out to be the end of them, and they had Showtime backing them, or at least they did until the allegations came out. Elite's ratings king Kimbo Slice, was due to fight Ken Shamock in their last show. Shamrock pulled out 30 minutes before the fight, so they got a fighter literally out of the audience, Seth Petruzelli. Seth appeared on the Ultimate Fighter and was a well rounded MMA fighter. Seth knocked Kimbo out in 14 seconds. After the event, Seth came out in the press and said that the bosses at Elite XC offered him more money if he kept the fight standing and didnt go to the ground, as Kimbo has no ground game.

After that Showtime pulled the plug and Elite went bust.

A lot of rumours of match fixing surrounded Kimbo. Apparently Ray Mercer is struggling financially and he was paid to throw his match with Kimbo too.

Saw Kimbo getting battered off James Thompson who is from Rochdale which is just down the road from me, when a freak ear injury won the fight for Kimbo. Butterbean smashed Thompson in about 1 minute when he fought him. Thats the level we're talking here!

The guy was a youtube street fighting phenomenom but he is no pro fighter thats for sure!!
