is UFC fake or not?
 

Top marquee matches have been rumored to be predetermined.

Besides, your local fight producer is likely to produce a more action-packed show than anything Dana White can dig up for an opener. Seriously, wouldnt you rather watch a local fight than those UFC prelim bouts or the SPike TV show?

No... Real As It Gets

Real, I know someone who does UFC and it is real.

its all fake

100% fake

the fighters are holograms

the blood is ketchup

the ring is made out of cardboard

Real.

There have been worked fights in the past, Frye/Hall, for example. Some rumblings about Shamrock/Franklin.

But the show is real- watch tonight to see how real

:thumbsup

it's for real

cool. i totally like the idea of fighting holograms.

those computers sure can generate realistic moving images these days.

Step in the ring and find out.

Everything on TV is optimized for ratings and the UFC is no exception. I'm not saying its rigged or people are taking dives but anythings possible and I have seen some suspect knockouts. Money talks and most people have their price. Especially if they are blue collar, in debt, babies to feed...... Organized fighting events by which many of people other than the fighters, stand to make big money have and will always be currupt to some degree. Its human nature. The greedy cannot and will not keep their hands off the stakes.

I'm not sure how you'd fake those kinds of fights, these guys are for real. That said if you live anywhere near the Northwest you'll get top notch "amatuer" fights, that 9 times out of ten are better than PPV.
The president of Pride was here a month ago just to wach the show in Everett.

Its just like boxing. When there are opportunities to make more interesting matches with more $$$, why not fake some of them...just ask Don King...he knows better.

these are serious dudes and i think most would rather kick some ass and keep their records than to throw a fight :2 cents:

It is real from what I have seen and all, I love UFC

its real

UFC is as real as it gets, Altho UFC sucks compared to about 4 years ago when it was just starting out and had "NO RULES".. When it had no rules that shit was fucking insane..

Now they have a few rules but mostly good clean fight.

they need to allow small joint manipulation, eye gouging, fish hooking, and groin shots.

real i know a couple of the fighters

Agreed!!!

Couldn't have said it any better :thumbsup

I miss Tank Abbot, why did he have to get his ass kicked so much years ago.

Now he never even fights.

Hes old school. Age has a factor, and wear and tear. No one can replace him though. :(

Ya too bad.

My favorite fight was him and that brazillion guy back about 2001, never forget it.

Hmm was it... Pedro Rizzo?

Ya, did you see that fight, fucking great.

real

(echo ;) )

I can kick everyone's ass.

I'm pretty sure I did...I've seen pretty much all of them. Plus the PrideFC events. Have you checked out pride before?

It's real.

UFC fighters are way to proud to play =)

it's real for sure, but people can always be bought, it even happens in soccer and sports like that...

When players start gets inside the ring, it's all for real.

which ones?

you are a moron

let's just say i'd be very surprised if shammy agreed to a work in which he gets his head bounced off the mat repeatedly.

he fought cabbage in may and he has a fight against yoshida next sunday.

skinny, i'm losing it here.

so fake. I have a friend who is a famous cage fighter and he has said on numerous occasions that 90% of the headline fights have a predeteremined ending. If you watched the ufc on saturday night you would know what i mean - Jeremy Horn never really even got hit but he managed "have problems seeing". Bullshit, pure bullshit.

this place is crawling with jackasses.

"let's just say i'd be very surprised if shammy agreed to a work in which he gets his head bounced off the mat repeatedly."


Ken's background is in pro wrestling, he would be more than willing to eat a few shots for the sake of making a work look effective.

Doesn't mean I think the fight was a work, just saying that its not out of the question, given that Franklin had already signed his contract at that stage and they are hyping him as a new poster boy.


For the record I'm a huge mma enthusiast and know its more real than any other sport in the world. But there have been the odd work, unfortunately. (More so in Pride)

oh ok i see how it is. Animal mother has a couple of gifs and now he has solved the mystery of if the "ufc is real or not". Well those gifs show nothing, its impressive looking due to the camera angles. I can show you numerous videos of japanese pro wrestling which looks as real as the ufc (mma style pro wrestling), though it isnt and i bet meat heads like animal mother are going to go off about how you cant fake mma fights. Hey animal mother, before you start beaking off about how people are jackasses, ask yourself if you have a famous cage fighting friend. I bet the answer is no, so you dont go acting like youhave the inside scoop.....jackass. Good Night!

was at the show saturday night in Vegas it Kicked ass and didn't seem fake at all!!!

I think ya know!

First time Ive ever seen anyone get knocked out by getting "inner thighed" to the top of the head! I wouldn't wager a thousand dollars to know the truth based on that clip, would you?

It's real, but i've never seen anyone get truely hurt in one of the matches.
