Alexander Hernandez Denies Wrongdoing After UFC 324 Fight Pulled Over Suspicious Betting

The lightweight seeks a quick resolution following reviews of suspicious wagering.

Overview

  • The Hernandez–Johnson bout was removed hours before UFC 324 after an integrity monitor flagged unusual wagering and sharp odds movement toward Michael Johnson.
  • UFC CEO Dana White said the FBI would likely investigate the circumstances surrounding the cancellation.
  • In an Instagram statement, Hernandez said he would "never dishonor" the sport, denied wrongdoing, and asked for a swift resolution.
  • Odds shifted from Hernandez being roughly a 2-to-1 favorite to near even in the 72 hours before the event as bets backed a Hernandez loss.
  • No formal accusations or disciplinary actions have been announced, and the UFC has not indicated when or if the fight will be rebooked.
