Ultimate Fighting Championship veteran Tae Hyun Bang didn't actually throw a bout in the Octagon. Nonetheless, even if he changed his mind, he is the focal point in a fight-fixing plot and is now facing criminal charges.
South Korean prosecutors announced Monday that Bang, 34, has been indicted for his role in a match-fixing plan, surrounding his November 2015 lightweight bout at UFC Fight Night 79 in Seoul with Leo Kuntz. The Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office alleges that Bang accepted 100 million won -- just over $87,800 USD -- from unnamed parties to intentionally lose his bout with Kuntz.
