UFC Cuts Isaac Dulgarian After Suspicious Betting Triggers Probe

Integrity monitors flagged unusual wagers on a first‑round del Valle win, triggering an IC360 review with Nevada regulators withholding his purse.

Overview

  • IC360 alerted the UFC to heavy late betting on Yadier del Valle by first‑round submission as Dulgarian’s price fell from roughly -250 to near -130 before the bout.
  • The UFC released Dulgarian and said its integrity partner is conducting a thorough review, while the Nevada State Athletic Commission is holding his fight purse.
  • Caesars and William Hill refunded wagers on Dulgarian after integrity alerts, and DraftKings cited concerns as some operators pulled markets.
  • UFC fighters Vince Morales, Lando Vannata, and Vanessa Demopoulos posted that they had been approached to throw fights, though Morales and Vannata later retracted those claims as jokes.
  • Factory X coach Marc Montoya denied any involvement, said the gym cut ties with Dulgarian, and argued that criticism of his team’s integrity is unwarranted.
