00:00We've been talking a lot about the betting scandal in the UFC.

00:03And as I stated earlier in the show,

00:06there's not enough money to be made to do it without getting caught,

00:12which is the problem.

00:13Or it's just stupid to do it for a little amount of money.

00:17So it's a very hard thing to pull off, right?

00:20It's very difficult to pull off.

00:23And I find this to be a pretty amusing story here.

00:26So Vince Morales said,

00:31all this throwing fight stuff is crazy.

00:34I've been approached about actually doing it.

00:36It's not something I can live with,

00:38even though I ended up losing the damn fight anyways.

00:42He lost the fight anyways.

00:45And he was asked online, how much did they offer you?

00:48He said 70K.

00:50He said pennies, considering how big of a deal it actually is.

00:55So that's my whole thing.

00:55You want to get charged criminally?

00:57Like, so we made $200,000.

01:00It's like, all right, you're going to go to jail for five years

01:03because you made $200,000.

01:04You're almost better off getting caught selling fentanyl

01:08than fixing things.

01:09They really, it's not good.

01:12The FBI has a task force on top of it and stuff.

01:15I don't want any part of it.

01:17But the thing is, in the fight game, guys, there's a ton.

01:22And is it fixed or is it inside information?

01:25Right?

01:27There's a ton of stuff that people know inside the fight game,

01:30behind the scenes, that they will use, that they will bet.

01:35Right?

01:35And it can't be stopped.

01:37Right?

01:38There's too much of a, you know, if there's too much,

01:42there's too many people that can place the bets for people.

01:46Right?

01:46But the people that get caught just aren't very good at it.

01:50Right?

01:51I mean, this dull game, like, whoever organized this

01:53and whoever the setup man was, it was like, really?

01:58Like, you know what I mean?

01:59If you were going to do it, you sort of, you do it a couple of times.

02:02You lose in the third round.

02:04You don't roll over.

02:06Right?

02:06Like, there was just, you know, you don't bet so much money.

02:09Right?

02:09You know, there was an alley.

02:11It even happens in all these leagues.

02:13Like, Alabama baseball coach, like, two years ago, guys.

02:16It's so stupid.

02:17The guy was making a lot of money, too.

02:19But he had a gambling problem.

02:21So, he was, like, the baseball manager of, like, Alabama.

02:24And he's the manager.

02:27So, he knew who the pitchers were.

02:29He knew that the star pitcher for his own team wasn't going to pitch type deal.

02:34And he knew the numbers and the odds were going to change.

02:38And same thing.

02:39It was, like, $200,000.

02:40He told, like, he actually called somebody in Ohio and told them,

02:45go to and go and bet this right now before the public finds this out.

02:49Well, you know what?

02:50The public found out.

02:51So did the FBI after.

02:53Right?
