Odds that GSP threw the fight?

What are the odds that the Serra - GSP fight was fixed? GSP's a huge favorite, a lot of money comes in on Serra right before the fight, then GSP goes down in the first round. Is it a realistic possibility that it was rigged?

interesting...didn't think about it that way..

i guess there's a (smaller than most people think) possibility, but i just figure serra caught him...

we don't need three threads on UFC 69.

There's a non-zero chance it was rigged, but I really doubt it. The kind of money GSP would have needed to throw the fight, even at 10:1 would have moved the line so much it would have been around GSP -250 or so at fight time, maybe even farther. We didn't see that much movement.

If you guys want to discuss further, take it to the other UFC69 thread:
