Interesting. I guess I should have read the article before commenting, but the way it played out does make some logical sense now in hindsight.Much easier to fix a single player event than a team sport.
But yea, it probably wasn't the best idea since it did set off red flags. According to the article, ufc believed something was up because of the line movement. They started asking questions to bang and apparently it made him nervous, which is why he didn't take a dive.
The article also says he started getting death threats, which is why he went to police and admitted being paid off.
