ppl gonna bet no matter what tho, but damn when u have these massive corps raking in cash its hard to not think that corruption reaches deep into reffing and other things

They could individually be corrupt but the refs and judges are by the athletic commissions at least so there's some checks there. And Dana HATES some refs lol

 

[Lethal]

club mate of mine had a breakdown when Juve got caught and dropped

 

[CakeWalker]

normally with ties to actual 'mafia-esque gangs'

 

[Lethal]

some refs are negligent too in mma

for sure. i somehow think its probably less fixed in ufc

 

[Lethal]

the one a few months back....ref shoulda stopped it and the dude almost died

 

[Comrade Khan]

mostly because it would be very hard to do in mma without it looking obvious and then looking at payouts lol

 

[Chris]

The show last week in Abu Dhabi had one of the worst reffing performances I've ever seen

 

[CakeWalker]

yeah terrible

 

[Chris]

Like lifelong fans are calling it the worst, it was atrocious. He just stood there while the guy getting murdered and never called for it. Then took a point later for an eye poke wirh no warning

 

[Death By Looch]

Sounds fair

 

[Chris]

He was supposed to come back and ref one more fight but he got pulled, the commentators were literally screaming "STOP THE DAMN FIGHT"

 

[CakeWalker]

its tie into too many fights though

 

[CakeWalker]

too many fights, not enough decent referees

 

[Chris]

Remember Steve Mazzagatti anyone?
