In a surprising move, the UFC decided to scrap a fight just before it was supposed to happen. The match between Alexander Hernandez and Michael Johnson was supposed to be part of the UFC 324 event in Las Vegas. But the UFC got a heads-up about some shady betting activity. So, they pulled the plug.
This isn't the first time something like this has happened. Just a few months ago, there was a big fuss over a fight between Isaac Dulgarian and Yadier del Valle. Even though they knew about some weird betting stuff, the UFC still let that fight happen. Dulgarian, who was supposed to win, lost in a way that made people raise their eyebrows. He got the boot from the UFC soon after.
UFC boss Dana White wasn't happy about it. He made it clear that they weren't going to let it happen again. He said they got a call from the folks who watch out for betting shenanigans. So, they decided to cancel the fight.
After the last incident, the UFC said they were teaming up with the FBI to look into things. White also shot down any talk about fight-fixing being a big problem in the UFC. He said they keep an eye on every fight.
It's clear that the UFC is trying to clean up its act. But with incidents like these happening more often, it makes you wonder if they're doing enough. It's a tough situation, and fans are left wondering what's really going on behind the scenes.
