UFC Reportedly Releases Isaac Dulgarian After Bout That Triggered Betting-Integrity Furor

Refunds by Caesars and William Hill followed dramatic pre‑fight line swings that raised betting‑integrity concerns.

Overview

  • Hours before the UFC Vegas 110 featherweight fight, heavy late wagers flipped odds from roughly -250 on Isaac Dulgarian to about -160, with Yadier del Valle’s round‑one prop reportedly moving from +850 to +475.
  • Del Valle won by rear‑naked choke at 3:41 of the first round, a result that fueled calls from bettors and analysts to review the bout for possible irregularities.
  • Caesars Sportsbook and William Hill said losing bets on the fight would receive cash credits, while DraftKings stated it was monitoring the situation and books pulled select prop markets.
  • Multiple outlets, citing Ariel Helwani, reported Dulgarian was released a day after the loss; the UFC has not issued on‑record confirmation or announced any formal investigation.
  • Commentator Michael Chiesa sharply criticized Dulgarian’s grappling defense, and unverified social‑media claims referenced federal warnings, with coverage noting parallels to the 2022 James Krause betting scandal.
