I hate 90% of MMA YouTube channels, including this guy. It does point t out some interesting betting activity from last nights card, and Issac Dulgerian losing in the 1st round. You really only have to watch the first few minutes to get the basics of the story.
MMA would be the easiest to throw in the first round or two. Get caught in a guillotine, give up your back, turtle up while taking a few thumps and verbally tap. After taking 3rds of a beating is a hard way to throw a fight.
If you know the history of no rules fighting and pro wrestling you know that pro wrestling in the beginning was basically just no rules fighting with fixed fights. Then they discovered why stop with just a fixed ending? We can script the whole damned thing.
I didn’t think anything of the choke at the time. Rewatching the clip, it is interesting that his other hand is basically on top of his head. At that point though, he had been fighting off several choke attempts.
It’s probably just coincidence. If anyone who was connected with Krause threw a fight at this point, they would be the dumbest person.
