UFC meets with FBI over suspicious bets on Isaak Dulgaryan fight

“We called the fighter and his lawyer and said, ‘What’s going on? There’s some weird betting going on in your fight,'” White said.

“Are you injured? Do you owe anyone money? Has anyone approached you?” “No, not at all,” said the child. I’m going to kill this guy.’ So we said okay.”

“The fight starts — and the first round ends with a rear-naked choke. Literally, the first thing we did was call the FBI.”

Betting company Caesars Sportsbook announced it would reinstate bets on the fight shortly after its conclusion.

Earlier this week, the UFC issued a statement saying it was “conducting a comprehensive review of the facts surrounding Duljaryan vs. Del Valle on Saturday.”

The statement added: “We take these allegations very seriously, and alongside the health and safety of our fighters, nothing is more important than the integrity of our sport.”

Dulgaryan’s coach, Mark Montoya, denied any knowledge of foul play in the fight.

“We have nothing to do with any of the accusations against us,” he told Ariel Helwani’s show.

“Actually, I’ve never placed a sports bet in my entire life – I can’t tell you how to do it.

“This is my life’s work. I would never trade my integrity or my word for any amount of money, because that’s all you have in life.”
