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.

The Nevada Athletic Commission has suspended UFC flyweight Jeff Molina . According to UFC broadcast partner ESPN, the reason for his ban is not known, but it is likely related to an investigation into the fight between Darrick Minner and Shayilan Nuerdanbieke on November 5. In the hours leading up to that battle, which Minner lost by TKO early in the first round, suspicious betting patterns were uncovered. One bet that became popular the day before the bout predicted that Nuerdanbieke would win by first-round TKO. It was eventually discovered that Minner had been injured prior to the fight, but neither he nor Glory MMA & Fitness instructor James Krause , a former UFC fighter, told the NAC about the injury.
