UFC 324 bout canceled after betting concerns
Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports

A lightweight bout at UFC 324 on Saturday at Las Vegas was canceled because of irregular betting activity, CEO Dana White confirmed.

Alexander Hernandez was scheduled to fight Michael Johnson but the bout was pulled before the UFC 324 card began.

In November, UFC did not cancel a bout between Isaac Dulgarian and Yadier del Valle despite evidence of irregular betting activity, with Dulgarian losing as the heavy favorite. Dulgarian was later released by UFC.

"It happened again," White said late Saturday. "We got called from the gaming integrity service, and I said, 'I'm not doing this s--- again.' So we pulled the fight."
