"FBI Is Deep Into All This Stuff" - Dana White Confirms UFC 324 Fight Was Pulled After Wagering Issues

On Saturday, the UFC canceled a lightweight bout at UFC 324 at T-Mobile Arena after the contest was flagged for suspicious betting activity involving Alexander Hernandez and Michael Johnson.
Sportsbooks cut limits or pulled the matchup after sudden heavy wagering that moved Michael Johnson from underdog to pick ’em, with several operators removing the fight over 24 hours.
Less than three months after a Dulgarian scandal that drew FBI involvement, the UFC faced betting concerns, with previous incidents involving James Krause and Darrick Minner prompting suspensions.
UFC CEO Dana White confirmed at his postfight news conference the bout was pulled for suspicious betting activity and told reporters `It happened again`.
The incident marks the third public federal investigation into suspicious betting around the UFC as UFC 324 debuts as the first premium event streaming on Paramount-Plus.
