UFC announced Thursday a new partnership with U.S. Integrity to crack down on any illegal betting.
"We have made enhancements to our UFC Athlete Conduct Policy to more clearly express the prohibition against any UFC athlete from placing any wagers directly or through a third party on any UFC match, including placing wagers on themselves," UFC executive vice president and general counsel Riché T. McKnight said.
"We have also expanded our discussion of so-called 'UFC Insiders' to make clear that these same prohibitions against wagering apply to an athlete's coaches, managers, handlers, athletic trainers, and other individuals affiliated with the athletes or UFC, and that violations by these Insiders may result in disciplinary action against related contract athletes.
