Police are investigating an alleged fight fixing at the UFC Fight Night 79 in Seoul, according to multiple reports from South Korean media outlets.
One of the reports identifies Tae Hyun Bang, who defeated Leo Kuntz via split decision at the November 2015 event, as the fighter who initially agreed to take a dive for 100 million won (approximately $88,000). Bang also reportedly bet 50 million won ($44,000) on his opponent. Bloody Elbow first brought word of the allegations coming from South Korea.
MMAjunkie.com has confirmed that both Bang and Kuntz were warned by UFC officials about fight fixing prior to their lightweight bout.
