My discovery was supported by Diana Baumrind’s 1983 research. She extensively studied the discipline styles used by parents and divided them into three basic types. They include: authoritarian discipline style, permissive discipline style, and authoritative discipline style.

IN the world of professional wrestling the results are predetermined. It’s all a show in the name of entertainment

But now, in a wild conspiracy theory, a former pro wrestling champion has claimed the UFC might have pulled a WWE on Sunday.

In front of more than 56,000 fans at Etihad Stadium in Melbourne, Ronda Rousey suffered a shock knockout loss at the hands of Holly Holm, her first UFC defeat and the end of her bantamweight championship reign.

But according to former WWE superstar and two-time world heavyweight champion turned podcaster Taz, the loss to Holm was what they call in the wrestling biz ‘a work’. In layman’s terms, Taz claimed Rousey deliberately lost to Holm and it was all part of a strategic plan, working in with Ronda’s increasingly packed career schedule.

“The first thing that jumped out at me was, OK: I think the finish of the fight might have been rigged,” Taz said on his podcast, The Taz Show.

“Let’s say I am right. UFC would not be reinventing the wheel by fixing a fight. This was going on for 50, 60, 70, 80 years in boxing. This is not a new thing.”

“He will certainly be playing somewhere else in January,” said the Johannesburg-based agent, who claims there are interests in South Africa and overseas for the player.

Uzoenyi made his international debut for Nigeria in 2012, and has appeared in FIFA World Cup qualifying matches.

He was named to Nigeria’s squad for the 2014 African Nations Championship (CHAN) and was selected the most valuable player of the tournament. He was also named in the provisional squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup making the final squad after Uwa Echiejile was excluded by injury
