Did the MMA Andrea Silva vs Fedor fight look fixed to you?

Watch it and say if you haven't seen it already...
Fedor is a good fighter, but look at the way Silva fell. It is like he planned to do it... His arms tucked in and everything...

No, not fixed.

Fedor caught him on the butt of his chin, and if you watched, you'd see his head pop back.
Then again you'd see the Belarus fighters head bounce off the mat.
Ouch!

Not fixed,

You mean the Andre Arlovski vs Fedor fight. No, the fight wasn't a fix. Andre just has a glass jaw. If you've ever seen his other fights where he losses its always the same thing. He tends to get over confident, goes in for some flurries, but drops his hands in the process. Which exposes his jaw. He was doing well against Fedor, and should have taken his time, but he didn't and we know what happened.

Arlovski was doing very well indeed, but he got careless and the magnificent Fedor hit him in the chin and then he just fell down and was knocked out cold. No, it was not a fixed fight. Unlike wrestling, the WAMMA or UFC do not stage fixed fights. It was a real hit to the chin. Arlovski was known to have a weak chin and this was again proven in this fight.
