UFC Engages FBI Over Suspicious Betting on Dulgarian–Del Valle Fight

Dana White says the promotion contacted the FBI after IC360 flagged unusual wagering on the bout.

Overview

  • Integrity monitor IC360 detected sharp pre-fight money on Yadier del Valle and round-one props, leading some sportsbooks to pull markets.
  • White says he called Isaac Dulgarian and his lawyer hours before the bout to ask about injuries, debts, or approaches to fix the fight, and was told there were none.
  • After Dulgarian lost by first-round rear-naked choke, Caesars and William Hill refunded losing bets on him and the UFC released the featherweight.
  • The Nevada State Athletic Commission has reportedly withheld Dulgarian’s purse pending review, and there is no public proof of wrongdoing at this stage.
  • White rejected claims that “hundreds” of fights are under investigation, urged athletes to report approach attempts to authorities, and said the 2022 Minner/Krause inquiry will be incorporated into the current probe.
