Is Pride fixed?!

Yodaman...you are fucking retarded.

People who think Pride isn't fixed must still believe in Santa Claus and God.

This thread is as valuable as a "does Dana White have WMDs?" thread.

I agree. The answer is obviously yes in both cases.

The superbowl is fixed.

Sometimes.

Anyway, I don't think every Pride fight is fixed, most are legit, but once in awhile...come on, man...

That's what I was saying. The Butterbean/Minowa fight was fixed without a doubt. Why the hell else would there be a dropkick?

What I'm saying is that in the legit fights, a foreign fighter can get a decision win over a Japanese fighter, which is virtually impossible in K-1.

Minowa dropkicked because it's an entertaining way of pulling guard without getting within range of Butterbean's hands, which are legitimately dangerous, and taking it to the floor, where he's just a flailing fat man.

Pride does have fixed fights every now and then, anyone remember Takada-Coleman? But I do believe 99% of all fights are genuine.

I also think Butterbean-Minowa was fixed. 1)Because Minowa has been known to be in fixed fights before and 2)Butterbean willingly took the fight to the ground. Why the hell would he do that?

1)So's Coleman, think he tanked to Fedor? 2)He thought he could follow Minowa down and deliver a beating.

Why bother to fix the fight when Butterbean has no chance anyway? What possible end would it serve?
