Fighters scratch and claw their way into the octagon just so they can one day have the opportunity to challenge for an Ultimate Fighting Championship belt. This fighter, on the other hand, reportedly thought a get rich quick fight that he could throw would benefit him more than sacrificing his blood, sweat, and tears. He couldn’t be any more wrong.
A fighter whose true identity has yet to be revealed is in the midst of some trouble as he won a fight inside the octagon that he was allegedly supposed to lose. Fixing fights is a serious allegation in the world of combat sports, but Sports News Naver is reporting that this fighter agreed to take a dive so people could give him a major payday of $100,000 (USD). This fighter failed to lose, though, and now the people who paid him to lose are now threatening him. Sports News Naver have it (Note: This was originally produced in Korean text and the identity of the fighter has been kept private for his safety):
“UFC was held in Korea last year, and the police are investigating the situation. One player has been told to pay for the game, and he is actually being thrown out of it.
It is the sole report of Lee Se-young. The first UFC match in Seoul at the end of November. In one game, a Korean player won the US player by judging. However, the cheers and cheering cheers behind the face of the player is opposite.
South Korea’s UFC fighter A is being charged with trying to manipulate the game to defeat this day. A player was awarded 100 million won from the gambling brokers on condition that he lost two rounds in three rounds in this game, and it was reported that he also made a pot for the opponent to win 50 million won among them. However, just before the match, A’s agent was contacted by the UFC headquarters in the United States for suspected fighting operations.
It is because of suddenly the amount of money suddenly attracted to opponent on the day of game on the overseas gambling site. [A player’s agency official: It said that the American site went to the stadium on the day of the competition. I do not know what to do. I do not know what to do. I got a message that I was suspected of playing the game, but I did not win the game.
The brokers were then threatened. The athlete, who has suffered intimidation, reportedly reported this fact to the police recently. [A player: I decided not to do that in the middle. It did not pass well … .] Police say they are chasing after a money-hitting broker.”
