With all the talk about the finishes, I wonder how many people were thinking what I wondered for a bit: whether these were "worked shoots" instead of actual fights. Basically scripted with the ending called in advance but designed for everything to look as real as possible to the casual observer.
It isn't exactly unheard of with MMA fighters, several names have participated in such events through the years (Severn, Frye to name a couple) and it's done okay in Japan at times. So with last night's endings, it doesn't seem out of the question to at least wonder.
Thing is, I wonder what the "I wonder" percentage would be among MMA fans vs MMA casual observers vs MMA first time viewers.
