James Krause and some of his fighters have been implicated in a betting scandal. The FBI is investigating them. UFC has banned fighters and their affiliates from betting on MMA matches.
UFC fighter Dustin Poirier is glad that betting controversy involving Sean O'Malley and Petr Yan was avoided. He has bet on himself before. He thinks it's not a good look in general. Dustin would like to be removed from the betting side of mixed martial arts. It's insider trading. If he was betting against himself, it would be a problem.
