Sportsbooks Refund Bets After Del Valle’s First-Round Submission Triggers UFC Vegas 110 Betting Scrutiny
Two major sportsbooks issued credits following dramatic pre-fight line swings that raised integrity questions.
Overview
- Yadier del Valle defeated Isaac Dulgarian by rear-naked choke at 3:41 of Round 1 at the UFC Apex, improving to 10-0 overall and 2-0 in the UFC as Dulgarian suffered his first professional finish.
- Dulgarian’s price reportedly tightened from about -240 to roughly -160 shortly before the bout, while a first-round finish prop moved from about +850 to +475.
- DraftKings was reported to have locked the fight from additional bets, and some books pulled related props as the late action hit the market.
- Caesars Sportsbook and William Hill said they would refund losing wagers on the fight, citing the unusual line movement flagged by bettors.
- Calls for an integrity review surged across the MMA community, with no formal inquiry announced by the NSAC or UFC; coverage also noted Dulgarian previously trained under banned coach James Krause before relocating to Factory X.
