Hernandez Denies Wrongdoing After UFC Pulls Fight Over Betting Red Flags

Hernandez denies wrongdoing during ongoing reviews by UFC officials plus federal investigators.

Overview

  • The UFC canceled Alexander Hernandez vs. Michael Johnson at UFC 324 hours before showtime after its integrity partner flagged unusual wagering activity.
  • Dana White said a gaming integrity service alerted the promotion to suspicious line movement and the bout was removed to avoid further risk.
  • Sportsbooks saw odds swing from Hernandez as a near 2-to-1 favorite toward even as bets came in on a Hernandez loss in the final 72 hours.
  • Hernandez issued an Instagram statement saying he would never compromise the sport, called the cancellation disheartening after a full camp, and asked for a swift resolution.
  • No public accusations or charges have been announced, as the review continues against the backdrop of prior UFC betting cases involving Darrick Minner and Isaac Dulgarian.
