Former WWF star is certain Holly Holm's victory over Ronda Rousey was a fix

If anyone's an expert on fixing fights, it's probably a professional wrestler.

Former WWF (before it became WWE) wrestler Taz has finally weighed in his opinion on the main event of UFC 193... because that's what fight fans have been waiting for.

Taz admited on his podcast that he couldn't get on board with the fact that Holly Holm legitimately knocked out Ronda Rousey with that thunderous head kick to become the new UFC women's bantamweight champion. He broke down why he believes the fight was a fix on his podcast.

"Why are some people not seeing this? This has been done in the wrestling industry for years." "A guy or girl is going to take a break or go away, or has an injury that they have to tend to, whatever the reasons are, and they're a champion - you take the championship off of them."

Rousey's superstar status has seen her land an increasing number of movie roles. She has had parts in the Expendables III, Entourage and Fast and Furious 7, and has recently been announced to star in the Roadhouse reboot.

The media work she is getting outside the cage has given rise to rumours that she may call quits on her fighting career sometime soon. Taz reckons this played a factor in the alleged fix.

"You do not want your champion sitting home or making a movie, ‘Roadhouse 2' or whatever Rousey's going to do, or just needs a personal break, which she's earned. This girl's earned it. But you don't want that person sitting home for five, six, seven months with that championship. IT'S BAD FOR BUSINESS! TAKE THE BELT OFF HER!"

Taz admitted that Holm's knockout was legitimate, but added that he was sure Rousey was in on a fix.

"If you look at the actual K.O. - now, she did get nailed, Rousey, with several shots before the finish of the fight."

"I'm telling you right now, that whole series, was the work. And I'm not sure who was in on it and who wasn't but I know this much: the ref probably wasn't in on it. Maybe he was I don't know. Rousey was in on it - and again, this is all my opinion. Holm might not have been in on it."

Right so.
