Johnson vs Hernandez pulled from UFC 324

A lightweight matchup between Michael Johnson and Alexander Hernandez was removed from the UFC 324 card just hours before it was set to begin.

UFC CEO Dana White said the promotion took the bout off after gaming integrity services flagged abrupt shifts in the betting market surrounding the fight.

The cancellation reportedly mirrors a prior betting-related incident that drew regulatory scrutiny and FBI attention.

White indicated he does not yet know whether the two fighters will face the same consequences as in the earlier case, and an investigation is underway.

For now the fight has been scratched pending further review while authorities and the promotion look into the suspicious betting activity.
