It is obvious, at least to me that it is not just that. If it was then there would not be the powering up and down for the fights. The only reason I can see for that is to manipulate the betting. The people that know in in advance that it is going to happen can benefit because of the way that the number of tickets that you get is based on the proportion of the bets on the winner and the looser.
