Talk of a Rockhold/Vitor Fix

There have been recent claims that the Belfort/Rockhold fight was fixed. Stating that Luke nods just before Vitor throws the kick, as if to say "Ok, go for it."

Rockhold responded Via twiter


Here is a slow-mo gif...



Well... what do you guys think?

Really? C'mon......

I would say there is about a 0% chance of this being true, but it is kind of funny how he nods and then just closes his eyes and grits his teeth like "this is gonna hurt" haha

Yeah I really don't know where people come up with this stuff. How can you justify Rockhold intentionally letting someone kick him in the face as hard as they can, while giving away the biggest opportunity of his life in doing so?

if there going to be a fix, wouldn't they have worked out something a little less violent, like maybe a straight right or something? Seems like a 90mph wheel kick to the head wouldn't be a very good option for Rockhold to agree to.

thats pretty much exactly what I was saying to a buddy of mine yesterday.

Oh no doubt about it.

If you are going to fix a fight it aint gonna be with a wheel kick. I mean what if he missed?
