Bas Rutten on JRE: "Takada vs Coleman was fixed"

kingcillo24 said:
If the commentaries were recorded so long (months) after the fight, doesn't that bring up an inconsistency in Bas Rutten's story about telling the media the finish before the fight?

Are you questioning the fight wasn't fixed? It was pretty obvious it was. Incosistency from Bas or not.
 
Matt Hughes and Jeremy Horn in ADCC arranged for the quickest sub; this didn't go over well.

Thx for confirming this pal... Like in 2017... Coleman said a long time ago he accept to fix the fight because at the time he worked in a pro wrestling org where Takada was a bookmaker... Even brazilian narrators used to say that when the Takada`s fights were fixed, he used to show up all happy with smiles and stuff... When not, he looked quite serious and a little afraid...

Interesting you should mention the happy & smiles. I just watched all the old Pride events on Fight Pass and noticed how many fighters were laughing and joking around back stage before fights with Bas. Something you never see in Boxing or the UFC
 
Of course it was fixed.

The fact that Takada wasn't killed by a seriously juiced up Coleman is all the evidence you need.

Not to mention the obviously worked finish. Lol

No shit. Pride was full of fixed fights. Or they would pay guys extra to not stand or go to the ground with someone.

Pride fanboys always get butthurt when you mention how shady it was.

its not like the UFC didnt have its fair share of fixed fights aswell. Something alot of those so called delusional UFC fanboys wont like to admit.

if you are somehow wondering which fights i mean i suggest you start searching on the internet ( or read the posts above me ).

The UFC had fixed fights between friends that did agreements.

Pride owners paid people and had a hand in it.
 
Funny how everyone now acknowledges that Pride was full of fake fights.

But everytime I bring up how Rampage supposedly was a world class kickboxer in Pride vs K1, yet fought against the same guy twice only, never fought in kickboxing again, the guy he beat (Abidi) basically admitted it was a work, and was run by the same Yakuza element as Pride, I get shitted all over.

I think it speaks to the bias here; how UFC fans get offended when you imply UFC fighters arent world class kickboxers, but they readily admit thats true for Pride fighters (yes rampage fought in pride but he wasnt champ there like he was in the UFC)

Have you ever seen those fights? What about it looked fake? I haven't seen those fights in probably 5 years or so
 
I always heard that when anderson rearranged richs nose it was a fixed fight.

Nobody has ANY connections, and nobody making 10/10 would EEEEVER take a fall for 150k. That's just not how the world works.

There's 100's of millions of people whoreing themselves out at shit jobs making way less than that. Hell yeah someone would do a work for 150k. People are in crazy denial.
 
Always knew something was up with this fight long before I ever read about it being a work on the internet. One of the less obvious Pride works that I never thought about being a work is Ogawa vs Goodridge, read in the Observer from that time about how much they had at stake for Ogawa in the pro wrestling side, they wanted Takada to do the job for Ogawa at that show but Takada refused, so they had him do the match against Mark Kerr as punishment, with the option of either doing the job in a work or fighting him head up in a shoot. I think he chose to do the job because that fight looks worked too.
