Daniel Cormier recounts calling alleged fixed UFC fight: ‘How in the world is this kid so bad’

The UFC's integrity is under scrutiny after Daniel Cormier's recent comments about an alleged fixed fight. Cormier, a former UFC champion and current commentator, revealed that the FBI had investigated a suspected fixed match that he had criticized during a live broadcast. The timing of Cormier's revelations coincides with ongoing discussions about sports integrity and the potential for match-fixing in combat sports.

The story began when Cormier, during a UFC event, questioned the performance of a fighter, remarking, 'How in the world is this kid so bad.' This comment sparked curiosity and led to the disclosure that the FBI had been involved in an investigation at the UFC Apex, the organization's headquarters. Cormier's recollection of the event highlights the unusual circumstances surrounding the match and the subsequent FBI probe. The evidence behind the alleged fix remains unclear.

Cormier's comments and the FBI's involvement suggest a deeper investigation into the integrity of the match. The open question is whether this incident will lead to further revelations about match-fixing in the UFC or if it will remain an isolated case.
