US EditionUFC Releases First Statement Addressing Fight-Fixing Allegations Involving Isaac Dulgarian
Isaac Dulgarian was cut after sportsbooks noted heavy wagers on his opponent winning in the first round, despite no formal wrongdoing accusations, UFC said.
- The UFC released Isaac Dulgarian two days after sportsbooks flagged unusual wagering interest ahead of his first-round loss to Yadier del Valle at UFC Fight Night at the UFC Apex, Las Vegas.
- Amid unusual wagering interest, IC360 alerted clients that late betting flipped Dulgarian’s odds from about-250 to about-160 and the first‑round prop from +850 to +475.
- Caesars Sportsbook and William Hill sportsbook refunded losing wagers after suspicious line movement, while some sportsbooks halted wagering as bettors kept backing del Valle despite shifting odds.
- A UFC spokesperson said the organization treats such allegations seriously and works with independent integrity-monitoring services, but for now no formal accusations have been made and Dulgarian’s release is attributed to his performance.
- This marks the second time in recent years the UFC has faced scrutiny over suspicious wagering tied to a bout, and Isaac Dulgarian’s record with the promotion now stands at 2-2 after losses including to Christian Rodriguez and Del Valle.
