Dana White confirms FBI investigation into UFC fight-fixing allegations: 'It doesn't look good'

UFC CEO Dana White on Tuesday confirmed the timeline of events surrounding Isaac Dulgarian's controversial loss this past Saturday at UFC Vegas 110 and said the UFC is actively working with the FBI as the promotion battles its second potential betting scandal of the past three years.
Speaking to TMZ in his first public comments on the matter, White confirmed Uncrowned and Yahoo Sports' reporting that the UFC's betting integrity partner, IC360, reached out to the promotion hours before Dulgarian's featherweight bout against Yadier del Valle and informed the UFC of unusual betting action pouring in on the underdog del Valle, both to win and on first-round prop bets.
"We called the fighter and his lawyer and said, 'What's going on? There's some weird betting action going on in your fight. Are you injured? Do you owe anybody money? Has anybody approached you?'" White explained. "And the kid said, 'No, absolutely not. I'm going to kill this guy.' So we said OK. The fight plays out — and first-round finish by rear-naked choke. Literally, the first thing we did was call the FBI."
Dulgarian was cut from the UFC on Sunday night, sources told Uncrowned, following a bizarre first-round submission loss in which he seemingly mounted little resistance against del Valle. The suspicious performance caused multiple online sportsbooks, including Caesars Sportsbook, to announce Saturday night an intention to refund bets users placed on Dulgarian to win.
