I remember touching on this and wondering the same exact thing regarding some stoppages and how weird they sometimes look and how fights are judged.
Ariel Helwani said he’s been told MMA fighters are being offered money to throw fights 🤯 “This is a massive issue for the UFC… How often is this happening? Is it happening with referees and judges as well? This is crazy.” (via @arielhelwani)

If I was to think any fight was a dive it would have to be Grant Dawson vs Bobby Green Dawson is 12-1-1 in his last 14 and somehow that one loss was a 33 second flatline KO to a 37 year old Bobby Green who isn’t known for his KO power
