Some fans believe that this fight is nothing but a money grab for the fighters and neither of them has any bloodied rivalry between them. This is the second fight that has been called out for fake rivalry in recent times. The first one was the boxing fight between Chael Sonnen and Anderson Silva.
Knew this was fake instantly
