UFC fighter Isaac Dulgarian has been released from the roster two days after sportsbooks flagged unusual betting interest against the featherweight ahead of his first-round loss to Yadier del Valle, a source told ESPN.
On Saturday, Integrity Compliance 360 (IC360), a firm that monitors the betting market for abnormal activity, alerted its clients about unusual wagering interest on del Valle to win the Fight Night undercard bout in the first round, according to a copy of the notice obtained by ESPN.
Del Valle submitted Dulgarian in the first round.
“Like many professional sports organizations, UFC works with an independent betting integrity service to monitor wagering activity on our events,” a UFC spokesperson told ESPN in a statement. “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.”
