Media UFC releases first statement on betting scandal, NSAC withholding Dulgarian's fight purse

[Fury]

Not a fan of sports gambling.

I have seen first hand how gambling addiction can ruin lives, and I highly doubt that I am in any sort of unique situation in saying that.

Gambling being shoveled down everyone's throat at every possible turn is peak human greed.

Everyone knows what's up and no one cares because it is profitable... so if you are providing an avenue for people to ruin their lives, eh.. who gives a fuck if it makes money, right?

You haven't considered gambling on a fight hosted at the White House.

Who is the Al guy everyone keeps referring to? Alan Dershowitz? Alan Alda? Al Iaquinta?

I’ve always thought it lame that L and I failed to thoroughly differentiate themselves. Especially egregious on I’s part as he already gets so many solo roles.

Not sure Raging Al is the guy you want to go to for a PR Statement involving controversy.

You canceling me? You betta not be cancelling ME!?

As a dedicated ufc fan, dedicated degen, but thoughtful, mindful person; this news troubles me greatly.

But it stops nothing. The bets won’t stop. I’m literally about to cook up a sinister parlay for this Saturdays card rn.

So this Dulgarisn guy cost himself his career and a potential win/fight bonus all for losing. I wonder how much he actually made out with for taking the dive.

The commission kept his purse as well.
