Isaac Dulgarian's betting scandal
On November 3, two days after the conclusion of the event, the UFC released Isaac Dulgarian because of his suspicious activity in his bout against Yadier del Valle. Unusual betting activity on the contest was reported a few hours before the event, as Dulgarian dropped from a -250 favorite to -154 just prior to fight time, according to BestFightOdds.com. He also performed poorly and showed questionable defense during his first-round loss. The promotion released a statement:
Like many professional sports organizations, UFC works with an independent betting integrity service to monitor wagering activity on our events. Our betting integrity partner, IC360, monitors wagering on every UFC event and is conducting a thorough review of the facts surrounding the Dulgarian vs. del Valle bout on Saturday, November 1. We take these allegations very seriously, and along with the health and safety of our fighters, nothing is more important than the integrity of our sport.
UFC CEO Dana White later announced that the organization called the FBI and was cooperating with them as part of the investigation. On November 13, Dulgarian was temporarily suspended by the Nevada Athletic Commission, who will vote on extending that suspension six days later on their monthly meeting. There’s a second measure on the docket with the commission also voting on withholding his purse from the fight as well.
