In a very interesting read at Yahoo! Sports, UFC President Dana White states that he knows for a fact EliteXC was tampering with fights:

“I know for a fact it was (done).”

When asked if he knew of other instances of fight influencing in EliteXC, he said, “Yeah.”

“They’re bad guys,” he continued. “Fight tampering. You start tampering with fights. A promoter should not be talking to a fighter about any fight strategy whatsoever … You wouldn’t have me in a public blog saying the FBI should be investigating them right now if I didn’t know it.”
