I hope UFC doesnt turn corupt like boxing - Fight Forum - MMA - UFC - Boxing - K1

I personally think that Randy was just taking one last shot at chuck because Dana wanted the PPV fight to be Big. I think he was just hoping to land a good shot and if he didnt then just retire.

It would go his way either way. Now he got to do the big retirement thing on PPV. Cash cow for Dana and Friends.

I know I sound a bit off on this one but Boxing is so bad, I see this doing exactly the same thing. Unless they go with tournaments then it will be corupt eventually.

Nothing corrupts like $, so lets hope Dana can remember that its the fans who pay the bills.

I hope it doesn't corrupt Zuffa and co. as well but you never know. It's not impossible though but I hope it doesn't happen. Like CRX said nothing corrupts like $. We'll just have to see how it plays out.

How is it corrupt that the former champion, who lost his belt under a year ago and had stopped Chuck a year before, getting a title shot for the rubber match? Yeah it's great money but it wasn't like Randy didn't deserve the shot. He deserved it over Sorbal who is next in line.

You could say the non-title bout between Hughes and Gracie is "corrupt" but I think it's just giving the man who made the UFC and a huge legend in MMA one last bout to shine, in the company he helped build. I don't think it's corrupt.

Corrupt is the screw job that Genki Sudo got in his Dynamite match with Yamamoto.

I really dopnt see UFC going corrupt. Look what happened the last time Dana tried to "help" chuck get a title shot by feeding him The Natural.... Chuck got OWNED! that goes to show ya, you cant plan fights.. Unless they started fixing them.. but lets not go there.

nothing corrupt about anything... (except maybe making GSP wait for another shot) but even thats not "corrupt" if anything i think PRIDE is more corrupt to outsiders because of where it takes place and who fan favorites are.. (although thats not always true also)

MMA as a whole isn't corrupt in my opinion. Maybe a few small shows that don't have a commission watching them. But I feel that Pride, UFC, Shooto, and what not aren't corrupt at all.

When compaired to boxing MMA is very very far from being corrupt.
