9. Mark Coleman vs Nobuhiko Takada
Suspicions regarding the legitimacy of several Pride FC fights exist, though only a few we know for sure to have been fixed.
Coleman has, more or less, admitted to taking a dive against Pride FC co-founder, Nobuhiko Takada, in 1999. Takada is a former pro-wrestler, actor, and noted fight-fixer. He is now an executive for Rizin.
Coleman has said this about his fight with Takada:
“It was what it was. I needed to support my family. They guaranteed me another fight after that and I needed that security. It was what it was. I’m going to leave it at that.”
