Yeah, but MMA won't be immune to it. It may happen there at some point if it hasn't already.
Team games, while they can be rigged, are much harder to manipulate truly effectively, especially over the course of a season. Individual competitors - boxing, MMA, horses, whatever - are much easier to control.
In this case it was a little sad - Holyfield didn't fight a great fight but he definitely deserved the nod. What's worse, it was on terrestrial TV not pay-per-view, and so the chance to attract a new audience has pretty well vanished.
