Oh yeah, he lost 2 of his first 3 fights, but I don't think he deserves to be thrown to the dogs over his record. He lost to Hammil and Gouveia (sic), not to much to be ashamed of . . .

Every promotion in the world offers one. It appears that Alvarez is working on behalf of zuffa. God! is there one mma reporter who will call it down the middle? I understand Kimbo had to be degraded after the hype, but now zuffa is paying people to call the fight fixed? This is horrible for the sport. Even a bum like Alvarez should have some self-respect shouldn't he? Common practice: there was knock out bonus. Every promotion in the world offers one.

Adding that Seth was a UFC washout i don't understand you bringing up unless you personally have a vested interest in the UFC.Being a fan of a promotion instead of the sport of MMA makes no sense to me.This is the reason Dana White has more fans than most of the fighters it just does not make any sense.

I wonder how kimbo feels that seth's ko to him was faster than any ko he has had. HAHAHAHA, kimbo being ko'ed by a ufc washout is priceless, kinda like kimbo's stock as an mma fighter now. i love it.

I rather see a formal investigation to get to the bottom of this and clear EliteXC(if they are innocent) instead of it just getting shrugged off and never actually cleared up.

If Machida was exciting, he'd have a title shot by now . . . probably even a title. If Okami was exciting . . .

But don't forget that there were a lot of "fixed" whispers after Bo Cantrell fell like a tree from a shady Kimbo punch. At this point, especially with $kala involved including his screaming cageside this fight as well as the previous Kimbo fight, everything is suspicious. I’m not one for conspiracies at all.
