So he lost to Rickson at Pride 1 when he was 0-0, wins a fixed fight, loses to Rickson again with a record of 1-1 and then wins another fixed fight. Were the Rickson fights fixed too, is that just a coincidence or did Rickson fight nothing but a bunch of cans? ---

The only non-can Rickson fought was Funaki at the end of his career and this was a guy who was known for Pancrase but not regular MMA. ---

It wasn’t fixed but you could tell there was some kind of bonus arrangement for letting it go a certain length of time. It was either near the end of round 1 or 2 Rickson kept asking how much time was left while he was mounted (IIRC). Finally just before the round ended he finished the fight. I think the same kind of arrangement happened with Cro Cop vs. Yoshida. CC kicked him a bit too hard in the leg and Yoshida went down. You could see this “oh shit” look in Cro Cop’s face and he immediately dived into his guard and covered up. There was no reason for him to do that unless there was an agreement to have a certain amount of groundwork take place. ---

> [@Cheddar\_Man](#): > > The only non-can Rickson fought was Funaki at the end of his career and this was a guy who was known for Pancrase but not regular MMA. So? Funaki was a dangerous opponent who actually hurt Rickson. ---
