Overview
- UFC said its betting-integrity partner IC360 is conducting a thorough review of the Dulgarian vs. Yadier del Valle bout.
- Odds on Dulgarian fell sharply in the hours before the fight while money poured in on del Valle by first-round finish, leading some sportsbooks to pull markets or issue refunds.
- Dulgarian was released by the promotion within two days of the fight, and Nevada regulators are withholding his purse during the inquiry, according to multiple reports.
- Several fighters, including Vince Morales, Vanessa Demopoulos, and Lando Vannata, initially claimed they had been approached to throw fights, with Morales citing a $70,000 offer, before walk-backs and apologies followed.
- Claims that federal authorities flagged a large number of UFC bouts have been reported by journalists and promoters but have not been confirmed by the UFC or law enforcement.
