"That looked f***ing real" - Michael Bisping dismisses fixing allegations in 'garbage' Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley 2 fight
Michael Bisping has rubbished allegations of Tyron Woodley taking a dive against Jake Paul in their recently concluded rematch.

Jake Paul knocked out the former UFC welterweight champion in the sixth round of their second fight, leaving the entire combat sports community in a state of shock. Soon after the fight, numerous theories started floating around social media about the legitimacy of the fight-ending punch.
Firmly rejecting those claims, Bisping said Woodley would never take a dive and added that he'd notice if there was anything fishy about the fight, considering his years of experience. Having said that, Bisping also said that the fight was 'garbage'.
In a recent episode of the Believe You Me podcast, Bisping said:
"I can completely shut everyone the f**k up on fixes. It's ridiculous. I don't know what you think but anytime somebody gets beaten, knocked out, something like that, they start these conspiracy theories start going around. There's no way Tyron Woodley would do that, secondly, I've seen enough knockouts to know when one was real. That looked f***ing real. The fight wasn't real, the fight was garbage, it was piss poor, it was sh*t, it was non-existent."
