UFC featherweight Isaac Dulgarian is under intense public scrutiny after being accused of fixing his fight against Yadier del Valle at UFC Vegas 110 last Saturday. Dulgarian, who has been on the UFC featherweight roster since 2023, lost to Del Valle by first-round submission.
Shortly after the fight, it was reported that suspicious gambling activity surrounding Dulgarian vs. Del Valle were flagged by a third-party betting integrity operation to the UFC brass. Ahead of UFC Vegas 110, Dulgarian was a modest betting favorite before a slew of bets were placed on Del Valle’s first-round victory shortly before the fight.
Dulgarian has since been released from the UFC and is under investigation for alleged fight fixing.
Dulgarian’s gym, Factory X, has come under fire in recent days since the events surrounding UFC Vegas 110.
