Will Salmon Be Allowed To Fight In New Jersey?

That’s the question Zach Arnold at FightOpinion is asking:

The Salmon article on MMA Junkie is amusing for several reasons. First, it comes off as if he’s trying to portray himself in a sympathetic light when it fact it does the exact opposite. Second, he’s bitching and moaning about the California State Athletic Commission, about Wolfslair Gym, and about anything else he can whine about as if it’s some sort of justification that he took a dive in a fight. Third, he has gotten himself booked in a fight in New Jersey where Nick Lembo runs the show and has publicly admitted that he (Salmon) took a dive in a fight. Think he will be fighting on the New Jersey show now?I don’t agree that there is really much by way of criminal offense to giving up mid-fight and letting yourself get caught in an armbar but it certainly is a gray area. Either way this is the kind of thing that will probably bring Salmon’s career to a halt in a hurry.
