there probably not fixed, the main difference is the octagon to the ring, some pride fighters just don’t adapt there training to the cage, also if it was rigged it would probably still have chuck liddel as light heavey wieght champ, and also gsp doesn’t always speak english either, also the lieght heavey wieght devision has so much over flow of top fighters any way, theres lyk 5 really top guys who could all be champ, such as kieth jardien, chuck liddel (his kinda low now though but its not cos he’s slipping its cos the compitition is getting better), rampage, forrest griffen, wanderle (or how ever u spell his crazy name) silver, rashard evens, there all top guys with pretty simular skill levels, and i don’t think the belt is gunna stay in one place for too long as long, since its not lyk its one guy dominating them all like in almost every other wight class, but i will say i dont hear to much about too many people watching the ufc for cheating either,

to understand how probable fight fixing is in the ufc and pride just look back at the history of boxing and the corruption that is inherant in the fight sports.did anyone see mike tyson v.s bruce seldon.there are also many ways when you control every thing to lean a fight in the favor of one fighter.the fact is the ufc is illegal.why do you think don king cant own the wbc ,own the wbc fighters contracts,promote the event and manage the fighters on top of it.for him to do this is against federal law ,so how can zuffa do exactly this??????????????????????

I would definitely say that there was a ton of steroid usage in pride. I firmly believe that Wandy, Shogun, Coleman, Randlemen, Crocop, Fedor as well as many others were juicen like crazy. You can literaly see the difference in strength and speed. In the UFC the Nevada state athletic commisson tests fighers randomly. I still feel that Sean (The juice monkey) Sherk and Franca are just the first of many to be found out. After watching GSP’s last fight against Matt Serra and just looking at his speed and definition I wouldn’t be suprised if he was taking some as well. I think there are going to be a lot of changes in the UFC with respects to testing and I would definitely say that the Shogun we saw in this fight against Rampage is not the same Shogun that stepped into the ring with Forrest. If you cannot accept that then you are blind. He literaly manhandled Rampage like he was a paper weight. I don’t see what more evidence anyone needs to be able to understand why these pride fighters just don’t look the same. The answer is clear to me.

for anyone who says ufc fights aren’t fixed is out of their mind….

The way they fix the fights is by not giving a fighter enough time to prepare for a fight.

I’ll bet you a million bucks that Forrest Griffin was preparing for the fight with Shogun for much longer than Shogun was preparing - dana white probably gave shogun short notice which reduced his training time.

I’ve never seen shogun so fat/out of shape in a fight when he fought griffin. so yes that was a fixed fight because looking at this - shogun would’ve destroyed griffin given the right chance. But Dana favors American Fighters. That’s why Tim Silvia is always the 1st to challange for the heavyweight belt…

the shogun looked great against rampage.rampage had no anwser for the clinch. rampage looked bad its hard to believe thats the same rampage i see today.in the other hand shogun showed some great sklills great utilization of the knees.that didnt look like the shogun agaist griffin he looked out of shape, nervous and not so explosive like i liked him to be .thats why griffin won ther fight.rematch why not but i smell trouble for forrest for shoguns second comming

Remember, Shogun on steroids is not the same as Shogun off of steroids. He looked like crap straight from the getgo agianst griffin, out of shape and everything. He is also way too small for the UFC, and that’s why rampage is the only Pride fighter to have any success in the UFC. Shogun needs to drop to 185 and be steroid free for a while in order for him to shine.

Shogun Destroys people when they dont come at him, in this fight you can clearly see rampage was put on defense mode and when you do that shogun turns on like that and DESTROYS YOU
and as you can see in the Griffin fight he has a little trouble when the fighter is more aggressive then he is, AN INJURY or octagon shock could have also added to the lose or some people suggest he took steroids over in pride ( doubtful ) But still HE GOT BEAT Because of any or all of these reasons Griffin is not a joke The UFC DOES NOT FIX FIGHTS, If They didn’t care about anything but the money, WHY THE HELL WOULD THEY MAKE MATT SERRA BEAT GSP? GSP FINALY GOT HIS BELT HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE NEXT TO HOLD IT FOR A LONG TIME! would have been amazing, But no he got tko’d And WHY WOULD THEY SUSPEND SHERK? because they enforce their rules whether it means loss or not. THE UFC IS NOT FIXED COMMON PEOPLE LISTEN TO DAVID! And the cro cop fight? common How can you fix that, it was complete lucky shot and he got a title shot im sure they would have liked to see Cro cop in a title shot, Thats BIG BUCKS. NOT FIXED! get ( but im not sayin its impossible just highly doubtful)

Shogun was out of shape. I think he was too cocky going in, thinking he was going to destroy Forest. UFC is a whole new style of fighting and Shogun took it for granted. Look at Crocop…he isn’t half the fighter that he once was.
