when Tim donaghy was fixing games, did David Stern hire him to do it? The idea what Dana or Ari are bribing judges is laughable.
You keep droning "laughable!", "laughable!" like a broken wind-up doll, but I noticed you avoided my question about when you started watching, and whether you ever saw Liddell-Belfort and Liddell-Bustamente live and can explain the commentary and judging for either? (Coincidentally, at a time when the UFC was trying very hard to make Liddell the new face of the UFC, and Dana White, president of the company, was his fucking MANAGER and close personal friend)
And it's not "bribing".
The UFC can very easily drop a few hints here and there about who they want to win certain fights. Judges who play ball get more assignments and bigger fights, and those that don't are no longer judging UFC cards.
Marcos Rosales and Chris Lee are two long-time "team players" that the UFC can count on to give the proper result for big fights.
The people who think a sport literally controlled by organized crime during its golden age (The Mafia for the UFC and Yakuza for PRIDE in the early to mid 2000s) has no judge tampering are the same people who think the vast majority of top fighters are clean and not taking PEDs of any kind.
