Therefore, the vocal podcast host has a clear message to the UFC and the Nevada State Athletic Commission on their impositions.
James Krause’s ongoing investigation only brought trouble
The questionable bout between featherweight fighters, Darrick Minner and Shayilan Nuerdanbieke, raised a lot of eyebrows. And is currently being investigated by NSAC. James Krause’s former student Brandon Moreno had to switch his coach after Nevada State Athletic Commission suspended Krause’s license.

Also, Jeff Molina recently faced suspension from the NSAC for his substantial association with Krause. And now, with the law imposed by the UFC, fighters and their associates lost a huge privilege, according to the podcast host.
Meanwhile, Joe Rogan explained why it’s necessary for fighters to be able to bet on themselves.
Rogan also said, “Like if you fought Khamzat and you’re like ‘F**k I’m putting a 100 grand on myself” “That’s cool.”

“You should be able to bet (on yourself.)” and regretted the suspicious involvement of James Krause behind UFC matches.
However, the thorough investigation by NSAC also implies a strong effort from their side to improve UFC’s image as a promotional organization.
