Former UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton Jackson of the United States talked about fake fights in mixed martial arts.
I know there have been fake fights in MMA. You tell me you want to fight me and then you add, 'Hey, Jackson, I'll give you $10 million if you lay down. But it's got to look true. I have to really hit you." I respond that I get hit all the time. I know I'm going to get hit. But I don't know if I'm going to get knocked the hell out. I figure I'm just going to fall.
