Sean Salmon may be in trouble

Sean Salmon may have completed the rare self-knockout

Sean Salmon basically admitted to taking a dive in his column on MMA Junkie.

The issue in question is Salmon's last fight against Allan Weickert at NAAFS Fight Nite in the Flats 5. Salmon lost via submission in the second round, a loss Salmon equates to his own poor decisions,

I handled him very easily for the entire first round. He was able to land one very good elbow to my temple. I am embarrassed to admit that my first thought was that, "If he cut me and I can't go back to England, this is not worth it." How in the world could I be in a fight and think that if I got cut, it is not worth the win?

In the second round, I took him down again. He went for an armbar, I defended it (only to prove to myself that he couldn't get it), and then I put my arm back in to give him the win so that I could return to England, healthy. Just so you all know, that is the most embarrassing thing that I have ever admitted out loud.

This confession may not have endeared Salmon with the Ohio Athletic Commission,

Ohio State Athletic Commission Executive Director Bernie Profato told Sherdog.com/ESPN.com Thursday that Salmon was putting himself in danger of exile....

Way to go Sean.
