Fighters Losing Just to Leave their Camp?

I'm not sure why this happens, but a fighter on a great streak will for no reason at all start to get dominated in fights after dominating everyone. They'll lose four fights in a row then leave their camp. There's no injuries to blame, no fatigue issues, not even a mini message before the fight starts saying that they're sick or didn't train well and it seems so obvious when it happens that it becomes predictable. I actually asked myself "Who do I want to benefit off of Chan's next loss?" Chose Gonzalo Ramos and sure enough he comes in and TKO's him.

And these are just 3 examples. Why go to such extremes to leave their camp?

Accidently put this in the suggestion section, so I'll....suggest that they not do this lol

I think you're looking at it backwards...they don't lose lots of fights to leave a camp, they leave the camp because they've lost several fights in a row.

I'm not really sure what you're asking for in the rest of the post...fighters do go on losing streaks, especially if they happen to have a step up in the quality of opponents they face. There's not really any sort of game or realism reason for that not to happen.

I know how it's supposed to be. When a fighter leaves due to their series of losses. What I'm saying is that often times there isn't a step up in competition at all. They just lose with no explaination regardless of who you put them against, top fighter or jobber. I understand that fighters go on losing streaks if put up against opponents on their level, and sometimes they may lose to people they aren't supposed to as this is mixed martial arts, but some fighters will suddenly do a 180 skillwise and lose to everyone. 4 times in a row. Just enough to leave their camp. They join another camp and then they continue beating people as if nothing happened. Maybe I'm just reading too much into all of the fighters that were once on dominating undefeated streaks suddenly losing 4 then picking back up right afterwards.

Ah, OK - perhaps titling your post "Fighters Losing Just to Leave their Camp?" and then asking "Why go to such extremes to leave their camp?" wasn't the most helpful tactic then, as that kinda gives the impression that you didn't.

Yes, you are. As I've stated before, fights are decided by the stats. There's nothing hidden, no secret code that decides whether people go on streaks, no storylines - if somebody loses 4 in a row, that's because they happened to face four fighters who could and did beat them, nothing more, nothing less.
