Greg Hardy vs Dmitry Smoliakov is proof that UFC wants certain fighters to take a dive.

Fighting is a shady business. Always has been. Cowboy knows what's cooking. He is the ultimate company man. Remember that shit with Bjork and fighters union? One call from dana and cowboy signed out of that shit in a heartbeat. Cowboy knew that it's in his best interest to lose this fight. UFC will take care of him for that. If he would've won, Dana would be pissed, and if your name is cowboy and you care about your financial future... You don't want to piss off uncle Dana... I don't even think he was instructed to fall, there was no orders. He just knew.

Oh please. If a fighter was gonna take a dive he wouldn’t get blasted with that many shots first. And Cowboy doesn’t give a fuck enough to take a dive anyway. Such bullshit.

its just a business

Conor has P4P more power than Wilder and Nayoa.

You’re an idiot

they’re set up with favourable match ups which is nothing like taking a dive

LOL. Conor was there to destroy that dude. How you want to protect yourself from that, when you don't even want to win? He had to take whatever was coming. It had to look legit.

Care to explain how to take a dive and make it belivable without taking a few shots?

To be fair cowboy tried to end it exactly when he took the head kick, herb was not in on the gig and thought he would try to fight back hence the bruising.
