"I would never dishonor myself or this sport by not giving my absolute all in competition. I have been thru a great deal in my career to be in the auspicious position I am in. I do not take that lightly. I do not take my work or the work of others lightly,"
"We got called from the gaming integrity service, and I said, 'I'm not doing this s*** again.' So we pulled the fight."
"Now people are saying, there are hundreds of fights (involved in fixed outcomes), that is total bullshit, clickbait bulls***. There are not hundreds of fights being investigated, clickbait."
Alexander Hernandez denied any involvement in suspicious betting patterns after his scheduled UFC 324 bout with Michael Johnson was pulled. He posted on Instagram that he would never dishonor himself or the sport and that he does not take his work or the work of others lightly. UFC president Dana White said the fight was removed after a gaming integrity service flagged wagering irregularities and referenced a 2025 betting scandal that drew FBI attention. White emphasized a zero-tolerance stance on betting involvement, dismissed claims of widespread fixed fights as clickbait, and warned of penalties if wrongdoing is found.
