MMA Coach Worked As Middleman for Offshore Sportsbook, per Report

New information came to light on Thursday regarding the betting activities of suspended MMA coach and ex-UFC fighter Jerry Krause, who’s the subject of an ongoing federal investigation for suspicious betting activity within UFC.

Krause, 36, has been away from the sport for nearly two months after receiving a suspension from the Nevada State Athletic Commission on Nov. 18 in connection with a bout involving one of his fighters, Darrick Minner. Now, according to a report from ESPN, Krause, who has well-documented ties in the world of online sports betting, also served as a middleman, or “agent,” for a bookmaking operation overseas.
