UFC FIGHT NIGHT HALIFAX - Browne vs Lewis.....
I have studied this 8 minute long fight... because I noticed something in the end replay which led me to trace backwards.... with the recent 3 million payout for Ronda Rousey for her terrible performance and new owners of the establishments who's primary focus is revenue, stability and entertainment.. This took 10 minutes to do.
No shots landed or landed well. I believe this fight was staged by both parties.. inclusive of the commentator who failed to spot in a slow motion replay that the punch that dropped Travis in the second round did not connect.... amongst the lack of effort by both parties to ever throw anything at 100% commitment or even be able to hit another fighter who is slow, flat footed and directly in front of them reaks of suspicion.
In the 2nd round, at 1:58 remaining...we have a right hand thrown by Derrick Lewis which misses Travis Browne completely. Watch the slow motion replay and you will see light between the glove of Lewis and the head of Browne. The trajectory doesn't even make his head. Yet the commentator announces "But here.. comes over the top and catches him right on the crown with that right hand"... Derrick Lewis' right was nowhere near the crown of Browne's head.
Here is every kick and punch thrown and how they land. The fight was watched at a speed of .25x on a 4k screen with a 2056 resolution.

Lewis clutches stomach but not over kick - story about needing to go to the toilet mentioned after but any athlete knows this is probably untrue as food is minimised leading to the fight and fluid intake is higher. Not impossible but extremely unlikely as this is not Lewis' first time in the UFC or MMA.

Granted in the sport of MMA, one cannot have no damage even if losing a fight and in this case, to stage something one would need to take some shots but it isn't gonna hospitalise Browne or need any serious care.
I have never seen a fight as bad as this one in all aspects... poorly acted. Soccer players do the same and dive despite there being super slow motion available nowadays so one cannot get away from things just like Josh Koscheck tried to with Paul Daley after faking the eye poke that never happened and the knee to the face that never happened and missed entirely.
