Fighter Gets Choked out by Referee
This guy has a bit of a reputation for showing up for a paycheck. It's just plain awkward from start to finish, the way he taps after getting hit once, and then tapping the referee lol
Shannon Ritch gets choked out by the Referee - Brightcove
he also had a 10 fight losing streak not going into more than 2:40 of round one

Shannon Ritch is a joke, he is known to have thrown fights in the past as well.

He deserved it after taking a cheap shot at his opponent after the fight was over.

As soon as I saw the headline "Fighter Gets Choked out by Referee" I immediately said out loud, "It's gotta be Shannon Ritch." He's such a joke. On that note, don't be surprised if he's booked to fight Fedor some day. Sorry, I couldn't resist.

He deserved it throwing a punch after the fight was over, funny though.

BTW, am I crazy or did he tap out just from giving up side control?

That was hilarious. Did Ritch take a dive when the ref choked him too? He had the hold on for about 5 seconds and Shannon acted like he was out cold.
I'm surprised he is even still fighting, some people don't know when to hang up the gloves I guess.

He shouldn't have the choice to quit, he should be banned. |
