half of sherdog would have got that RNC
Seriously, before this fight was even booked, if you had told me, "If a fighter was to come out of retirement to fake a submission attempt and get knocked out for money, who would it be?" I'd have said Ken Shamrock...
The fight didn't need to be fixed. Neither of these guys are making a run for the title and they draw viewers regardless of their record. They were both coming off losses and were headlining this event. Either fighter winning could be utilized by Bellator for setting up another fight. Ken wins, you could match him up with Lashley. Kimbo wins, you could match him up with whoever.
It didn't even look like a fix, it was two fighters far removed from their prime in a sloppy fight. Ken was legitimately trying to get that choke and it's not like we've never seen RNC chokes that look locked end up failing due to good defense and attempts to reposition and losing the hold. It happens relatively often in the sport. Also, Ken got tagged a couple of times and didn't go down until the last one that hit him flush. If that was a dive, that was amazing acting and even more amazing who he got multiple cuts during that scene.
Overall, this was a solid event. Chandler looked amazing, Strauss reestablished himself for contention and Pitbull pulls off a flash KO, when seemingly he was done at the end of the first. A couple nice showings on the under card, Lashley and Kimbo with wins. A big announcement. A solid crowd. I don't think Bellator could have had a better night overall. Good showing.

You are wasting your time over here, 99% of sherdoggers are gonna ignore your reasoning and are gonna still yelling "fixed, fixed" , was a very good card with two washed fighters way past their prime in the main event but they still atracting viewers and selling tickets
i dont care if it was fixed or not. it was there as entertainment. people got that one way or the other. I wouldn't be in shock if it was though. Kimbo they can still work with to market.
I would watch every fixed Ken Shamrock fight if it ended with him getting KTFO
What's Fedor's price for taking a beating against Kimbo?
That was a fucking fake fight. Kimbo lifted his leg and let ken take him down...liek they planned it...then he almost choked him out....but ken let it go like they planned then kimbo hit him ONE time and ken gave up...just like they agreed before the damn fight.
