The issue began when featherweight fighter Isaac Dulgarian lost to Yadier del Valle by submission in the first round at UFC Vegas 110 on Saturday, November 1, 2025, in Las Vegas. Hours before the fight, betting odds suddenly shifted in del Valle’s favor, causing sportsbooks to issue refunds on losing bets. Fans quickly suspected something unusual had happened.Speaking to TMZ Sports, Dana White said he personally called the FBI right after Dulgarian’s loss. The UFC’s betting integrity partner, IC360, had warned him about suspicious betting around 1 p.m. that day. “When I heard about it, I went straight to the FBI,” White said. “If anyone tries to fix fights, they’ll be our worst enemy. We’ll make sure they go to prison.”

Dana White confirmed he met FBI officials on Monday, November 3, to discuss the Dulgarian-del Valle bout. Soon after, the UFC released Isaac Dulgarian from his contract.

We’re watching every bout very closely.”Meanwhile, fighters Lando Vannata, Vanessa Demopoulos, and Vince Morales added to the chaos after claiming they had been approached to throw fights before later saying they were joking.

White questioned why none of them reported these claims earlier, saying, “If that really happened, why didn’t you tell us or the FBI?”The UFC released a statement promising full cooperation with authorities. “We take betting integrity very seriously,” it read. “IC360 monitors all fights to ensure fairness.”Dana White’s message to fighters was clear: “This sport is built on respect. If you betray that, you’ll lose everything.”
