I've learn at a very young age that's professional sports here in the USA are nothing but shows. With that in mind, any great show will drive to capture its audiences with dramas and make massive amount of $$$.
I went to the UFC fight at the arena couple years ago. The main fight was Forrest Griffin vs Rampage Jackson. Of course, Rampage was a massive favorite to win. It was something rediculous like risking $450 to win $100. Anyway, the first two rounds Forrest Griffin got smoke, bruised up and barely able to finish the round. Third round came he landed couple punches and some how won the fight. Forrest Griffin is a great fighter but there was no way he would have won that fight without its being fix. Rampage Jackson barely broke a sweat during the fight, he even said its all about the money after the fight. Since then I've lost interest in UFC.
