Overview

  • The UFC said its integrity partner IC360 is conducting a thorough review of wagering on Dulgarian vs. del Valle.
  • Dulgarian’s odds tightened from roughly -240/-250 to about -160/-166 in the hours before the fight as books pulled props and DraftKings locked the market.
  • Caesars and William Hill announced refunds or credits to customers who lost bets on the bout, an uncommon response to flagged activity.
  • Yadier del Valle won by rear-naked choke at 3:41 of Round 1, with analyst Michael Chiesa calling Dulgarian’s defensive effort unusually poor.
  • Ariel Helwani reported Dulgarian was released by the UFC the next day, while social-media claims of an FBI warning remain unconfirmed by authorities.
