The latest UFC betting scandal is the talk of the town and Dana White has now made comments about it. We know that ahead of last Saturday\u2019s featherweight fight between Isaac Dulgarian and Yadier del Valle that the money line changed dramatically in favour of del Valle just hours before the fight. The suspicious betting behaviour led sports books to become suspicious and flag the issue.<\/p>\n

Since then, Dana White and co have both cut Isaac Dulgarian<\/a> as well as involved the FBI<\/a> in their investigations.<\/p>\n

It appears that it isn\u2019t just Dulgarian who could be in hot water, however\u2026<\/p>\n

Dana White Questions Why Fighters Didn\u2019t Come Forward Earlier<\/p>\n

Since the Dulgarian news, a number of UFC fighters have come forward and stated that they were offered money to throw fights.<\/p>\n

10 fight UFC vet, Vanessa Demopoulos<\/a> took to social media to say she was approached to throw fights.<\/p>\n

In addition to this, \u2018Groovy\u2019 Lando Vannata stated he was approached to throw fights seven times, however, he later backtracked on his statement. Vince Morales has also stated that he was approached to throw a fight, however, he stated that it\u2019s \u2018not something I could live with\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

UFC President, Dana White<\/a>, is asking the questions that a lot of us have been wondering\u2026 why now?<\/p>\n

I\u2019m wondering why these fighters didn\u2019t say anything at the time? To their managers or ANYONE at the UFC? It\u2019s baffling to me https:\/\/t.co\/ZsTJT2B6nr<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Frazer Krohn (@frazerkrohnMMA) November 4, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n

Talking last night, White said:
\u201cYou\u2019re seeing things out on the internet where fighters are coming out and going \u2018oh I was approached, I was approached\u2019 Really? Why didn\u2019t you tell us that? Or more importantly, why didn\u2019t you tell law enforcement that you were approached? Now?! Now you\u2019re saying you were approached\u201d.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s got a very valid point. Why, at the time did Demopoulos, nor Morales (we\u2019re ruling out Vanatta as he\u2019s backtracked on his comments) come out and say anything? Why didn\u2019t they get in contact with the UFC to say that it had happened, they\u2019d been approached and they\u2019d turned down the offer?<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a chance that if they had done so, the \u2018Dulgarian case\u2019 wouldn\u2019t have happened at all.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s safe to say that Dana White is not happy, understandably so. With both Demopoulos and Morales enduring three-fight losing streaks, don\u2019t be surprised to see them exit the UFC soon.<\/p>\n
