UFC immediately notified the FBI about the situation.<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cThat\u2019s what it is. Happened again,\u201d White confirmed about Johnson vs. Hernandez being pulled due to concerns over the betting lines. \u201cWe got called from the gaming integrity service, and I said I\u2019m not doing this shit again. We pulled the fight.\u201d<\/p>\n
When the same thing happened in the Dulgarian fight, White said the UFC contacted him and asked if he was injured or perhaps owed somebody money that could lead to such a dramatic change in the odds for his fight. White claimed Dulgarian promised he was good to go but then he suffered a lopsided loss in the fight.<\/p>\n
The UFC wasted no time releasing Dulgarian from the roster and he\u2019s now under suspension from the Nevada Athletic Commission while an investigation is still ongoing.<\/p>\n
White said he doesn\u2019t know any additional details about the Johnson vs. Hernandez fight, but he expects the FBI to add that to the list of matchups being flagged for the investigation.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe FBI\u2019s already deep into all this stuff anyway,\u201d White said. \u201cI\u2019m sure this one will be next.\u201d<\/p>\n
As far as the fighters go, White stated \u201cI don\u2019t know\u201d when asked if Johnson and\/or Hernandez could face a similar fate as Dulgarian after the betting irregularities surrounding their fight.<\/p>\n
For now, the fight was pulled from UFC 324 and an investigation is already opened to try and figure out why the betting lines shifted so much in such a short matter of time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The lightweight fight between Michael Johnson and Alexander Hernandez was pulled just hours before UFC 324 got underway…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":432490,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[444],"tags":[49,48,641,701,638,82,640,702],"class_list":["post-432489","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-fighting","tag-latest-news","tag-mma","tag-sports","tag-ufc","tag-ufc-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/432489","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=432489"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/432489\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/432490"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=432489"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=432489"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=432489"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
