Ok first I don't think it's a fix but 2 things
1. at 3:36 it looked like Kimbo taps so much that one of the announcers scream "And that's it!"
2. Between 2:58 -2:52 ken says something like "why're you're turning" and then says "you're good". Maybe they said something different. Idk
I just went total EY. Conspiracy theory. but after people kept saying fix I watched it like 5 times.
Just something to recheck.
Btw
Aliens
2:58 to 2:52? Please explain how that works
It looked like Kimbo tapped. His arm looked like it went limp right before they stood up. And Kimbo has no ground game whatsoever. I'm calling it a fix. That RNC was not being tightened.
IF it was work, does that mean Big John was involved?
It has to be a fix!!! He had an iron clad RNC and just ...... Let it go (insert Frozen song).
And when he got knocked out, it looked like he was pulling a WWE fake "I'm KO'd guys".
I've grappled with 50 year old guys, not one of those guys are the caliber of Ken Shamrock, I don't care if the guy is 50 years old.... With his strength/experience against a OUT OF SHAPE kimbo with no ground game, you don't let that RNC slip.
^^ not to mention it was so early in the fight, no way in hell endurance had any play in lettings it go.
Did they have another angle? They didn't really show ken on the ground when he was KOd it was abit blocked. Wanted to see if his eyes rolled back.
commonsense517 - 2:58 to 2:52? Please explain how that worksHe said it backwards, so that it wouldn't be detected.
Didn't count on us being UG Super Sleuths though!!!

Some call shields
commonsense517 - 2:58 to 2:52? Please explain how that worksBecause the Bellator clock counts down. So he starts talking at 2:58 of rd. 1 and stops at 2:52.
Try again smarties.

Fapping2FabersButtChin - Did they have another angle? They didn't really show ken on the ground when he was KOd it was abit blocked. Wanted to see if his eyes rolled back.Eyes rolled back? He was just staring at the ref like "this is when you're supposed to step in"

Feel like Kimbo was calling for either an arm drag or a hip toss when they were locked up in that single collar tie, but Ken kept shaking his head "no" lol. I'm gonna try and gif it.. It was a shoot and that's that.
I just can't in any way believe ken shamrock forgot how to finish a rnc. He has probably hit a rnc hundreds of thousands of times in training over the years and you can see him leaving kimbo space in the choke.

lol at anyone surprised that this fight was worked.
FightToLive - IF it was work, does that mean Big John was involved?I really doubt that BJ was involved. He's just there to do his job.
Call it a fixed fight between both guys or a dive on Ken's part or Ken was simply attempting to prolonge the match for whatever reason.
All I know with certainty is: Ken intentionally didn't finish that choke when he had it locked in.

commonsense517 - 2:58 to 2:52? Please explain how that worksYou have to play it in reverse to hear what Ken is saying.
This is high level stuff.
That or the round counts down...

Watch the first tie up... the ten seconds before the break.. just watch that a few times and if you can't see what was going on, you're verrrry naive, retarded, even.
Total fix. Watch Kens hands and upper arms during the RNC... he was applying zero pressure! It's SO obvious I can't even type it out. I feel like if I have to point things out I'm doing it for someone who is brain dead, so whats the point? lol
It was a WWE style sleeper hold not a real RNC. He never put his hand behind the head to tighten. He kept it on the forehead. If he's been training for 20 years and can't properly tighten an RNC he's either retarded or its a work.
