UFC CEO Dana White said a fight was pulled from the UFC 324 card on Saturday, Jan. 24 because of a wagering flag. White said the UFC heard from ‘the Gaming Integrity Service,’ which monitors gambling.
“Happened again,’’ White said Saturday during a press conference after UFC 324. “We got called from the Gaming Integrity Service. I said, ‘I’m not doing this (stuff) again.’ So we pulled the fight.’’
Though White did not identify the fighters in the bout pulled Saturday, the fight that was canceled Saturday was the lightweight fight between Alexander Hernandez and Michael Johnson.
In November, White announced another UFC bout had drawn suspicion for fight fixing. The UFC allowed that fight to take place after speaking with the fighters and the result deepened suspicions the fight was fixed. White said the UFC called the FBI after that result.
