James Krause Fixed A Fight And Now In Under $5 Million Debt

Famously, “The James Krause” competed in the UFC from 2013 until 2020. He overcame several opponents along the road, including Warlley Alves, Claudio Silva, Sam Stout, and others.

James Krause Fixed A Fight And Now In Under $5 Million Debt

But Krause finally gave up to concentrate on training fighters at Glory MMA, including Brandon Moreno and Megan Anderson.

But James Krause effectively lost all credibility with the UFC in late 2022. Due to suspicious betting behavior involving one of his boxers, Darrick Minner, the coach was suspended.

Before his bout with Shayilan Nuerdanbieke, the odds changed significantly. After becoming hurt, Minner ultimately lost the battle in the opening round. According to reports, he had that injury going into the fight.

Darrick Minner was freed, Jeff Molina was suspended, and James Krause was blacklisted as a consequence.

Despite the ban and his separation from his Glory MMA and Fitness facility, Krause seems to have turned his attention to a new venture in real estate, and he’s even extended an offer to mentor anyone who wish to pursue similar careers.

James Krause, the former MMA instructor at the center of an alleged fight-fixing controversy, made a surprise appearance over the weekend when he revealed he is deeply in debt and is currently having difficulties in the real estate market.

“I’m in over 5 million dollars of debt and don’t lose a second of sleep over it,” Krause wrote in a Facebook post before discussing the ins and outs of real estate investments.

The UFC suspended Krause indefinitely and announced that the FBI was looking into his involvement in his fighter Darrick Minner’s first-round defeat, which was preceded by odd betting patterns against him in November 2022.

The UFC suspended Krause and informed competitors that they would not be allowed to participate if they continued to be associated with him.

By all accounts, Krause, who rose to prominence as an MMA instructor before his suspension and UFC ban, has directed all of his attention into his real estate venture. Among the elite competitors Krause trained were Brandon Moreno, the former flyweight champion of the UFC.

While Krause is still suspended by the Nevada commission, he will not be permitted to engage in any combat sports-related activities. It is unclear when the investigation into the betting violations may conclude. The betting scandal may possibly result in financial or criminal sanctions for him.

However, following the fight with Minner in November, UFC president Dana White had expressed a more pessimistic assessment about whether or not he would be found guilty of fight-fixing.

“Do you know what the outcome of this is?” White said when asked about the investigation. “If I penalize them, they get cut, but they’re going to go federal prison, federal f–king prison if they’re that f–king stupid… there’s not enough money in it.”

At first, unusual betting patterns on a bout between Krause’s boxer Minner and his opponent Shayilan Nuerdanbieke were noted by sportsbooks.
