Hernandez betting rumors and Volkanovski’s future
Reports indicate Alexander Hernandez was sidelined by an issue before his scheduled fight with Michael Johnson, and a sharp move in betting lines led the promotion to cancel the bout.
Fighting injured is not itself illegal and happens often, but the main concern is who placed the wagers that produced the unusual odds movement.
Observers are offering competing theories — some point to leaked inside information, others to outside bettors reacting to rumors — and no official conclusion has been announced.
Meanwhile, conversation is growing that Alexander Volkanovski might make his final walk at his upcoming fight; a win would be a triumphant send-off, while a loss could also serve as a clean exit.
Many pundits say his career achievements justify retirement, though he could opt to pursue more titles if he wishes.
Separately, Daniel Cormier has made clear he will remain cordial but not friends with Jon Jones, keeping their relationship professional.
