One of the biggest stories of the year in the world of MMA is the betting investigation involving the UFC and fighter-turned-coach James Krause.
After a 13-fight career with the promotion, Krause focused his attention on coaching, and quickly became one of the best in the game. However, his name became the center of attention of a massive scandal when abnormal betting activity was uncovered for one of his fighter’s bouts in November.
The initial ramifications of the ongoing investigation have been significant. Gaming regulators in Canada have stopped taking betting action on UFC fights, the UFC itself has banned Krause and his fighters, and other promotions are keeping their distance from the coach and his stable.
