White dismissed broad claims that \u201chundreds\u201d of fights are under investigation as \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/ufc-news\/400584\/bombshell-ariel-helwani-reveals-that-multiple-fighters-have-been-approached-to-throw-fights-inside-ufc-octagon\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">clickbait bullshit<\/a>,\u201d while stressing the UFC\u2019s long relationship with IC360.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cIC360 \u2014 they monitor all of the betting. They are the best in the business,\u201d White said. \u201cWe\u2019ve been with them for years, and we get a report after every single fight that we do. We take this very serious and we\u2019re watching every single fight that happens in the UFC, from the first prelim to the main event.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cSo, when this did happen a couple of years ago \u2014 that investigation is still ongoing and will be a part of this investigation,\u201d White added. \u201cI talked to [Kash Patel] this morning. We just had an office full of FBI agents here this morning. If you try to do this \u2014 I\u2019ve been very vocal about this \u2014 we will be your worst enemy. We will immediately go after you, guns a blazing with the FBI, and do everything we can to make sure you go to prison.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cReally? Why didn\u2019t you tell us that? Or more importantly, why didn\u2019t you tell law enforcement that you were approached? Now? Now you\u2019re saying you\u2019re approached?\u201d White said. \u201cIt\u2019s really weird that fighters are coming out now and saying they were approached. And they\u2019re going to be approached now \u2014 by the FBI.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">White stopped short of declaring Dulgarian guilty, but he acknowledged the optics are troubling and do not look good.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">As IC360\u2019s review continues and federal authorities reportedly probe the matter, UFC faces intense scrutiny. MMA fans, bettors, and regulators will be watching closely as more information comes to light.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has been hit with another serious betting scandal surrounding the Isaac Dulgarian vs. Yadier&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":260491,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[570],"tags":[64,63,786,40762,785,85,1396,45879,14855],"class_list":{"0":"post-263688","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mma","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-fighting","11":"tag-latest-ufc-mma-news","12":"tag-mma","13":"tag-sports","14":"tag-ufc-news","15":"tag-ufc-on-espn-fight-night","16":"tag-videos"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/263688","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=263688"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/263688\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/260491"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=263688"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=263688"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=263688"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
