It's finally happening. MMA is becoming as corrupt as boxing.

**** is getting ridiculous.

@fishrat I don't think corrupt is a fair word to use.  incompetent is more apt here.

@Gregory

Incompetence would be one thing if this wasn't such a common occurrence in both MMA and Boxing.  It's come to the point where almost on every card there is at least one, if not multiple, questionable judging calls.

@mikeyvg

I agree with everything you're saying but if you're worried about the future i hate to say it but these things will only keep on getting worse. No political leader or election is going to change this. It's a hard pill to swallow but we have had several elections in my country and nothing ever gets done about it. And my country is much more "right wing" than America. 

2 Years ago, i decided to move to Thailand and i now live there 8 months out of the year. Now i don't worry about politics, feminism or stupid commercials anymore. Cheap living, muay thai and skinny Thai girls, life is great !

Maybe think about moving abroad if you are tired of life in USA.

@Mikey as an outsider ( Australian) it's just a lobby that is culpabale for the nonsense. I'm half aboriginal and even I agree with you, these SJW's are as racist and dangerous as anyone they condemn as the same. But to me, it's just a fad. When it stops being cool, these ****tards will just move on to something else. It's all about dramaturgy, there's no real integrity underwriting any of it.

People all pretty much want the same things in the end. The greatest trick the powers that be have ever pulled off is to convince us we're all so different.

**** it all, brother. There's just you and me and how we are to one another during our  brief time under the stars.

why can't incompetence be a regular, common thing?

corruption suggests that people are convincing Marcos Rosales, Adelaide Byrd, etc to change their scores for sports betting purposes. does anyone here believe that?  because I think they're just incompetent and don't really know what they're watching.

@greg it honestly scares the **** out of me man. This is what killed boxing for me and is basically the reason I started caring more about MMA than boxing. Deck stacking, corruption, record padding...if MMA turns into that it would be a tragedy,

@Gregory

I don't want to believe it, but considering the fact that Boxing's highest point in the 1940s to 1960s is somewhat tarnished by the fact that the biggest promotion was ran by the Italian Mob, as well as that Pride FC became a front for the Yakuza from 2004 to 2007, leads me to be skeptical.

Sadly, I think Arlovski.  Struve has a bad chin, but I think Arlovski's second wind is reaching its end.
