"Fight fixing is back in the news following this past weekend's UFC Vegas 110, with UFC bettering integrity partner IC360 (formerly U.S. Integrity) investigating the suspicious bout between Yadier del Valle and Issac Dulgarian. Dulgarian, who lost after tapping to a rear-naked choke, has been highly criticized for his inability to defend the submission. Ahead of the fight, the moneyline shifted to de Valle, including sizeable amounts being placed on del Valle winning in the first round. That raised red flags."
""All this throwing the fight stuff is crazy! I've been approached about doing it and it's not something I could live with...even though I ended up losing the damn fight anyways," Morales wrote on social media on Monday. In a follow-up post, Morales responded when asked about how much was at stake. "Penny's considering how big of a deal it is. 70k," he replied."
IC360 is investigating a suspicious UFC Vegas 110 bout between Yadier del Valle and Issac Dulgarian after unusual betting activity and a poorly defended rear-naked choke submission. Significant moneyline movement and sizable first-round wagers on de Valle triggered integrity concerns. UFC featherweight Vince Morales revealed he was approached with an offer to throw a fight during COVID fight week at the Apex and said he refused; he indicated the amount discussed was about $70,000. Morales is 0-3 in his current UFC stint. Previous fight-fixing led to Tae Hyun Bang receiving a 10-month prison sentence after accepting over $90,000.
