Looked to me like the dude knew he was fucked but didn’t want to tap, so he faked going out.

Def faked going out but the punch drop looked like BS too...

Didn't look fishy, looked fake as hell. The choke goes in and the guy sticks his arms out to the sude. Never attempted to fight hands, or even push off. Then he drops his arms like he's out. The guy releases him and instead of doing a faceplant straight down, he moves his leg to brace the fall and rolls to his back.

I kind of agree, he made it very clear he was out, usually you can barely tell after the guy fought his ass off to get out of it.....not here

It looked off to me as well. It wasn’t so bad that I’d feel right about questioning Ash Griffiths’ character but the fact that he missed weight is a red flag too. It would be hard to motivate yourself for a weight cut just to take a dive.
Watching it again, he puts both hands on the mat to give up his neck and then doesn’t defend the choke at all. Choke starts at 2:11.

The guy was 4-6 heading into the fight. It wasn't fake, he was just a shitty fighter who didn't know how to defend a choke and gave up.

So why wouldn't you add the word 'suspicious' to the thread title?

May I ask the purpose of intentionally hiding the reason for your thread?
Do you get bonus internet points for extra views gained by click-baity titles?

This isn't meant as a personal attack, just an expression of frustration at the UG-ish crap that's been creeping in here lately.

"ttt"

I have a certain style of posting that I have been using for about 15 years. If u don't like it and don't think it's fun then move along...

It's unfortunate that Scott is allowing that kind of shit to happen just to attach the Bellator name to some trash instagram famous nobody...

The knee right before the knockdown looked real, could be wrong with angles. Maybe he was rocked and figured “fuck this”.

Seemed fishy for sure.

Not proud of it but I’ve feigned an injury during cross country running because I just didn’t have the stamina for it. Stick me in a sprint and I was fine but if you can’t hang, you lose interest and just pretend.
Maybe MMA isn’t for him.

Chalmers will probably face legit competition before MVP does

Chalmers is just an hard bastard and outclassed the other guy. Nothing fishy about it.

Caveman was legit. Venom is just so good, he made him look like he didn't belong in the same cage with him.
Cmon man. Rickels is a gatekeeper at best as a lightweight and he moved up to fight MVP. I like Caveman but dont try and make him to be better than he is because you are a bellator schill.

So you've watched every Bellator event, for several years now and actually know what you're talking about, or you're just talking out your ass?

Before this fight, his 4 losses were 2 to Michael Chandler, 1 to Patricky Pitbull, and a split decision loss in a welterweight quarterfinal.

Yea but who did he beat? Again I like Rickels but lightweight gatekeeper is all he is so moving up and getting starched by MVP isnt that impressive.
