LAS VEGAS – Two fighters connected to the federal investigation of an illegal betting scheme involving former UFC fighter and coach James Krause have received formal sanctioning by the Nevada Athletic Commission.

Molina received a three-year suspension and was fined $235.56 in prosecution fees for failing to disclose his teammate Minner’s injury and then willingly placing a significant bet on the fight. Molina’s suspension expires November 5, 2025.

UFC gambling probe: Jeff Molina, Darrick Minner set for Nevada disciplinary hearings

BAD MMA News — Thu, 20 Mar 2025 15:42:04 +0000

Two fighters embroiled by the investigations into potential illegal wagering on UFC fights will go before the Nevada Athletic Commission after more than two years on temporary suspension. UFC flyweight Jeff Molina and former UFC featherweight Darrick Minner are set for disciplinary hearings next Tuesday in Las Vegas, according to the NAC. No further details were revealed, but typically hearings of this nature result in the announcement of sanctions, including suspensions or fines. Molina has been suspended since January 2023 for what the commission deemed “substantial” involvement in the “gaming scheme” involving coach James Krause. Minner, who was one-half of the bout that sparked investigations due to unusual betting line movements, was suspended in December 2022 for what the commission said was failure to disclose an injury. Neither fighter has competed since Minner’s quick November 2022 loss to Shayilan Nuerdanbieke was flagged due to suspicious betting line movement.

UFC prohibits fighters trained by James Krause from competition amid betting investigations

BAD MMA News — Sat, 03 Dec 2022 00:00:20 +0000

Fighters training under James Krause will have to find a new team if they wish to continue to compete in the UFC. The Las-Vegas based promotion will not allow athletes to step into the octagon if trained by Krause. UFC chief business officer Hunter Campbell announced the news to the roster on Friday evening. “Effective immediately, fighters who choose to continue to be coached by Krause or who continue to train in his gym, will not be permitted to participate in UFC events pending the outcome of the aforementioned government investigations,” Campbell wrote in a memo. The ban of any fighter trained by Krause comes in the wake of ongoing investigations on potential insider betting and suspicious line movements surrounding a November bout between Darrick Minner and Shayilan Nuerdanbieke at UFC Fight Night 214. Abnormal line activity was picked up hours before the fight, and Minner, who’s coached by Krause, quickly went down with an injury in the first round of the contest, which led many to believe he was injured entering the fight.

UFC fight under investigation for betting incident

BAD MMA News — Mon, 07 Nov 2022 18:17:00 +0000

The UFC and a U.S.-based betting integrity firm are investigating “suspicious betting activity” surrounding Shayilan Nuerdanbieke’s first-round victory over Darrick Minner at UFC Vegas 64. According to MMA Junkie , the win wasn’t the only surprise but “it was the betting lines, which drastically changed just hours before the featherweight bout took place, that raised eyebrows. As rumors emerged that Minner was injured, Nuerdanbieke went from a -220 to -420 favorite. A lot of money came in on Nuerdanbieke winning by first-round TKO, which had sportsbooks suspicious of the unusual line change for such a low-level fight.” Just recently the UFC announced it was banning fighters from betting on fights, even ones they were not involved in. “Like many professional sports organizations, UFC works with an independent betting integrity service to monitor wagering activity on our events,” the UFC’s statement to ESPN said. “Our betting integrity partner, Don Best Sports, a leading global supplier of real-time betting data for North American sporting events, will conduct a thorough review of the facts and report its findings.
