The UFC has launched an investigation into Isaac Dulgarian’s bout at UFC Vegas 110 following dramatic betting shifts before his first-round submission loss to Yadier Del Valle.

Dulgarian entered the event as a heavy favourite, but odds unexpectedly tightened just before the fight. Some sportsbooks even suspended props such as first-round finish bets. He was released from the promotion the day after the defeat.

«We take these allegations very seriously,» the UFC said, adding that its betting-integrity partner IC360 is reviewing wagering activity and the circumstances surrounding the 1 November fight. «Nothing is more important than the integrity of our sport.»

Several major sportsbooks, including William Hill and Caesars, later issued refunds to customers who bet on Dulgarian.

UFC president Dana White confirmed the promotion has contacted the FBI after IC360 reported «unusual activity» on the fight.

«We were alerted that something strange was happening,» White told TMZ.

The probe is ongoing.

Kursiv Uzbekistan also reports that Chris Eubank Jr has revealed the severe aftermath of his April clash with Conor Benn, responding to critics who accused him of seeking sympathy.
