just try to make the topic clear in your title, LadyJag (and use the edit button instead of triple posting, there's a feature to do Multi quotes as well)
I for one, don't think fights are fixed, everything can always be explained w/o saying "he threw the fight"
styles make fights, so sometimes certain fighters have problems with a particular style OR a fighter just has a guy's number (Hughes vs Hallman)
also with the popularity of MMA its given fighters an opportunity to fight as a full-time job so (for the most-part) they are fighting guys who have more time to train, a more well-rounded skill-set and good cardio, bottom line is they are getting to a point where everyone is good and their skills/style cancel each other out
