Anyways this proves my theory. Whenever I do not watch my favorite fighters live they get upsetted big time! I hadn’t missed a Gomi fight in AGES. I say bah, aurelio sucks, screw this ppv. BOOM UPSET. Same thing with Diaz(although i didn’t say that diaz sucked but figured he was an underdog). this is the FIRST GSP fight I have ever missed since getting back into MMA and there you go. I am responsible for the losses of my 2 favorite fighters (after sakuraba).

HAHAHAHAHA

Asking for a fight in an interview = concrete evidence that every fight you participate in is 100% worked.

How can you argue with that logic?

Anyhoo…I’d actually like to discuss something that matters.

If the poster is correct and all these guys are fighting in the PRIDE LW Tournament, then that’s evidence enough that Zuffa is serious about keeping the brand alive in Japan.

It’s funny that there’s not more people talking about the Pride LW tournament with the names attached. I think it points to the fact that PRIDE has so little credibility when announcing names and participating fighters that at this point no one even cares that they’re the biggest liars in the world :-p Okay, that’s a bit overboard. But you get the point.

Serra will get a chance to prove his win wasn’t a fluke against Matt Hughes. This fight will set up a rematch with GSP (provided GSP wins his next match … hopefully what David L’Ouiseau had wasn’t contagious). The only question is who GSP will fight in the meantime. In a way this is kinda good because the welterweight division’s ladder was in a bit of a mess and this straightens things out a bit. Sanchez losing puts him out of title contention till the fall and sets up a rematch against Parysian for #1 contender past GSP. Yeah i know, i’m predicting a lot, but at this point I’ve drank so many energy drinks i feel like i can see through time.

That’s genius. Go back to Sherdog, please.

I’m going to give your little crackpot theory one more look. Yeah, OK, I’m sure Dana White woke up one day and said “I’m going to fix a fight. Which one should I fix? Hey, I know! I’ll take one of my hottest new drawing cards, GSP, the guy who has the huge money rematch with Hughes coming up, and I’ll have him lose! Wait! Even better! I’ll have him lose to a guy who has lost to Shonie Carter and Din Thomas! That’ll build my business bigger than ever! God, I’m brilliant!”

Oh wait, you said this was a grand design by Dana to push the guy from TUF. How odd of Dana, then, to let Diego Sanchez, the TUF1 winner, have his first loss, and for Mike Swick to lose in his hometown, on the very same shown he’s fixing things for Serra.

Seriously, dumbass … if you’re going to insult the intelligence of the readers of this board with conspiracy theories, at least make them somewhat plausible.

I would imagine it was Kos that did the most damage to the bookies by far.
