This is the case of Joe Rogan, official commentator for UFC broadcasts in the United States. For him, the fight itself was not convincing, so he suspects that all actions within the cage have been combined.
“He looked like he was f***ing armed. There are a few things I didn't like about this fight. I didn't like the clinch. They spent a long time with their mouths pressed against each other's ears. And also when Ken fell and didn't crash once. Like this? He fell, got his back, and didn't throw a single blow. It doesn’t make sense”, analyzed Rogan, during his podcast.
“The entry of the fighters also seemed suspicious, because he [Shamrock] was greeting everyone. It didn't look like he was going to fight, but rather that he was going to perform. But maybe they asked him to do that to increase interest in the fight, to highlight the whole fake rivalry”, added the commentator, who, however, only saw one legitimate move during the fight.
“Another thing that stuck in my mind was the way Kimbo knocked out Shamrock. That was for real, he definitely got it right. So maybe they made a deal and Kimbo said 'I'm going to beat this son of a bitch no matter what,'” added Joe Rogan.
