See if you can get your heads around this one -
Retrospective determinism is the informal fallacy that because something happened, it was therefore bound to happen;
In MMA this is when a guy wins emphatically, and this informs opinion that he therefore won inevitably.
Proven Example - Cain v JDS 1.
Example 1- Id have Anderson v Vitor as a good example of a possible case as the fight finished emphatically, but could easily have gone the other way.
