Proof that the fix was in against Hermes

If you saw the show, then you'll recall an older lady who entered the cage to thank Sherdog 50 times and had her picture taken with all of the fighters as they left the cage.

That women is Lu Dwyer, the owner of J & L Irrigation in Fresno, CA and Ferrid Kheder's sponser and business partner. Oops forgot to mention that she is the promoter of Saint Tropez Promotions: XFT in Costa Rica.

Lu Dwyer's Facebook page

Proof of the association between her and Kheder

A video interview with MFL promoter Dirk Waardenburg where he talks about partnering with Kheder and his money mark Dwyer.

From the XFT Facebook page:

"THANK YOU 'ALL' VERY MUCH!!! SINCE THE "LAUNCHING" OF 'XTREME VALE TODO 1'... IT HAS BEEN A SUCCESS STORY!!! ... THEN CAME 2... WITH IT'S BEAUTIFUL BEACHES IN TAMARINDO, COSTA RICA,... THE GREAT 'TURN-OUT' AND INTEREST IT GOT WITH OUR 'TEAM FK' AND THE 'CHAMPIONS' OF COSTA RICA'... "WHY NOT"... LET'S TRY IT AGAIN!!!" - Lu Dwyer

They have even formed some sort of company to sponser other fighters called Team FK.

^^^LOL seems kind of harsh

Does sound like Hermes got totally screwed though and no fight finder should list that as a loss

I spoke with some people that were there and actually saw all the scorecards. Was UD for Franca. The announcer was in the middle of saying Hermes name when cut off by the bald guy in the ring Jean-Francios Billon who took it upon himself to change the result in the ring.

 ugh....that picture done made my dick go soft ...having strolled in from the Rachelle thread

 "Kheder would like to thank his sponsor, J & L Irrigation. "The owner is Mrs. Lulu Dwyer. I think without this sponsor, I couldn’t be where I am right now."

Oh no! This will prevent Franca's meteoric return to the UFC (sarcasm). Seriously, the show sounds pretty crooked, but who the fuck cares about Franca anyway? There's a better possibility that Hermes' natural hair color is purple. Phone Post

*than his return to a show that matters. Phone Post

Voted down. Corruption at any level is harmful and a major barrier to being viewed as a legitimate sport.

This is what Farrid said.

Ferrid Kheder: "I Can Beat Any Fighter That Faces Me at Xtreme Vale Todo"
Hot on the heels of his miraculous win against Hermes Franca in Costa Rica, rising star Ferrid Kheder has issued a bold statement to the MMA competitors of the world. "I can beat any fighter that faces me at Xtreme Vale Todo," said the Frenchman, who managed to earn a decision against the UFC veteran on Sunday night despite being out-struck and out-grappled for three rounds. Of course, the outcome of that bout has managed to stir up controversy, with Franca publicly decrying the results as something that made him "really upset" and "sad." But Kheder, who once won an Xtreme Vale Todo bout by submission despite being knocked out, and won another by split decision even though he was unable to answer the bell for the second round, has remained unfazed - and steadfast in his belief that he could emerge from any Costa Rican fight with his arm raised in victory. "I don't care who you are or where you've fought," said Kheder. "If our fight takes place at Xtreme Vale Todo, I will defeat you."

what are they goina do if this idiot gets knocked out? wait for him to recover than restart the fight?

Fail! After taking the Manny fight he will have the respect of the UG forever. But since you're a tenor you wouldn't know that.

Franca is one of the coolest, nicest dudes in the sport. There are few fighters that garner more admiration no matter his success from the hardcore fans.

hahahahahhaahaha that last sentence just says it all. totally fucking corrupt and he knows it.

on the upside, sherdog is reporting it as an NC which is better than calling it a win for Ferrid.

I have to agree with my fren from across the pond, VTFD Phone Post

Tell me thats not real?

 

Interesting that she is a financial backer of the MFL -- the same promotion that shafted Gary Goodridge a few months back.
