LAS VEGAS — There’s levels to misconduct in combat sports. And, well, fight fixing is pretty high on the list.
Tae Hyun Bang was sentenced to 10 months in jail last week in South Korea for his involvement in a fight-fixing scandal regarding his 2015 UFC fight with Leo Kuntz. The court said Bang took nearly $100,000 to throw the fight against Kuntz, but didn’t go through with it. Bang ended up winning a split decision.
The betting lines on the fight, which took place in Seoul, moved significantly leading up to the bout.
