A prominent MMA gym has firmly dismissed rumors of a federal raid tied to a major betting scandal involving a UFC fight, insisting the claims are false and that it has full transparency. The gym, known in the community for its reputation and long-standing presence, said it has cooperated fully with authorities and welcomes any legitimate inquiry into the allegations swirling around its training team.

According to industry insiders, unusual betting patterns surfaced ahead of a featherweight bout that ended in an abrupt loss, sparking regulatory and federal interest. Online commentary claimed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation had entered the gym, confiscated phones, and interviewed fighters—but the gym administrators say that account is inaccurate.

“There is a false report circulating that we have been raided by the FBI… This is not true.”

“This is a family-owned gym that has been in good standing in our community for over 15 years. We unequivocally stand by our innocence and... would welcome a visit from the FBI as we have absolutely nothing to hide.”

While the gym stopped short of denying that law-enforcement conversations took place, it clarified those were voluntary interviews and not the ‘raid’ that’s been described online. The statement emphasized the gym’s view that its fighters and coaches are being unfairly caught in the cross-hairs of speculation.

The timing of the allegations couldn’t be worse. The bout in question raised red flags for sportsbooks, some of which provided refunds due to unexpected odds behavior. Meanwhile, the broader implications for the sport are substantial—where irregular betting intersects with athletic integrity, every gym and athlete becomes vulnerable to scrutiny.

As this story unfolds, the gym’s refusal to be silent stands out. They’ve positioned themselves not as victims of suspicion, but as proactive parties seeking clarity. Whatever investigators find—or don’t—this episode underscores an uncomfortable truth for MMA: when millions of dollars in bets meet fragile outcomes in the cage, even well-established teams must respond quickly and publicly.
