All it takes is one death and the states start looking at MMA. All it takes is a couple big names going out deciding they like the fame and money and decide to "fix" things.
Sounds impossible and unlikely but give it time. We shall see.

I am not sure what you are referring to as far as the "one death" part. Are you saying that if someone dies then an investigation will reveal that there is already some fakenes; or that one death will prompt a push for "safer" (i.e. predetermined) outcomes. I just don't see what you're saying (i'm not trying to be a smartass). Wrestlers and boxers have both died in the ring (or due to ring related injuries) and both of those sports continue on fine. Dana White knocks on wood when the topic of deaths in the octagon arise, but in reality there are good safety measures in place, not the least of which is actually having evenly matched, competitive opponents.
