    A UFC Coach running a betting site is probably the most mafiosa thing outside of the old boxing match fixing. Also 10/10 on that self incrimination.

      I was watching the mma hour live and i was mind boggled when this clown coach james krause legit admited to illegal or at least unmoral betting on his own fighters and even betting while at events with basicly full inside information, like bro wtf

      Because it wasn't technically illegal or against the rules in any way. It was very common in MMA. The only thing that would be considered illegal is if he placed bets against his fighters, which one can make the assumption for with the Minner fight, but no one knows. I recommend watching the Helwani breakdown coverage if you care about it, because it explains the entire scenario.

    What an absolute crazy story. I remember when I was playing sports in college, the NCAA did not allow us to place any bets on any sports sanctioned by NCAA. It's insane to me that nothing like this is in place / wasn't in place for UFC.

    "Why can't we be like UFC?"
    From my understanding the UFC is around for a similiar amount of time as esports. Yet the UFC only now banned Fighters and Trainers from betting. The ban of Krause seems to me much like the IBP ban. A warning shot but knowing how the UFC is only interested in profits, I doubt they will try to actually invest to keep it clean going forward.

    The basic lesson: even the small, private sins of the individual can hurt the innocent* larger organization if proper action isn’t taken. I’ve been passively watching the issues with ESIC and match fixing, and it’s a Gordian knot problem, but it should be dealt with or it could do serious, long term harm to CS in ways we may not understand currently

  • @florisbackx1744
    @florisbackx1744 Před rokem

    Isn't the biggest issue that the UFC seems to be so dependent on the betting industry? To me it's even a lot bigger thing than the whole crypto drama in E-sports and F1. At least Crypto doesn't stimulate wanting manipulate the outcome of the matches themselves. Also I don't care about insider info being used, let the grifters just grift each other. The whole premise of betting is tying hustle some else out of their money. Oh, and just wanted to say that I love your content it;s very entertaining and insightful!

    The insider info on Manny Pacqiou versus Floyd Mayweather must have been crazy. For those who don’t know Manny hurt his arm but the loser was still set to win 25MILLION Dollars so he fought anyway. So what was supposed to be a great fight was practically guaranteed that Mayweather would win.
    In football, I could easily see Lamar Jackson on the Ravens telling his friends hes definitely not playing in this Sundays football game way before he made his official announcement stating this (he is the lifeblood of that team and they score half as many points when he doesn’t play) This stuff probably happens all the time

    UFC really going downhill lately. I mean look at some of the recent decisions, the judging is not fair at all - it seems like they heavily favor different fighters. Then Dana does his best damage control and says there's no issues, despite the majority of the comments on any post anywhere where talking about how rigged it was lol.
