Fight canceled amid betting concerns

Dana White said Jan. 25, 2026 that the bout between Alexander Hernandez and Michael Johnson was pulled just before the event after alerts from betting-integrity monitors.

White reportedly cited unusual wagering activity that prompted sportsbooks to limit bets and for the promotion to remove the fight.

The matchup was taken off the card at T-Mobile Arena and authorities, including the FBI, are reportedly examining the situation.

Neither Hernandez nor Johnson have publicly addressed the cancellation as of the post-fight news conference.

Further details are being reported by the outlet; see the original for the full story.
