Dana White has become deeply upset over the score-fixing scandal. The UFC chief has fired back at fighters who are only now saying they received offers to sell fights.
There are still echoes of the recently revealed scandal, according to which there was allegedly fight results rigging in the UFC organization. It all came out because of Isaac Dulgarian ‘s loss and what happened just before the fight. An hour before the fight, the odds changed heavily as a large group of people bet on the victory of underdog Yadier Del Valle, some even bet on his victory in the first round.
In the end, most American bookmakers decided to take this duel off the betting list so as not to take any chances. The case immediately attracted the interest of a qualified unit of the FBI agency, which sniffed out quite a scam.
The situation was not helped by the fact that some fighters and athletes immediately began posting on the X platform suggesting that they too had received offers to sell fights. Naturally, this angered the UFC boss.
Dana White fired back at fighters
Dana White has fired back hard at the fighters. The president of the UFC organization is furious that the fighters only decided to reveal this after time.
– And you know, now fighters come out and say, “I was offered, I was offered to sell the fight!”. Really? Why didn’t you tell us anything? Moreover, why didn’t you inform the law authorities? NOW you say that someone offered to sell you a fight! As if someone came up and said: “I’m going to rob a bank. Are you going with me?” – and what, you won’t say that to the authorities? It’s really strange that the fighters didn’t say anything, that someone spoke to them. Well, now they will hear from the FBI….
We are about to find out how many fighters and managers were involved in the whole business of rigging the results of fights in the UFC octagon.
