Was it real fight-fixing or just an overreaction by the UFC & Dana White?

[Player101]

According to The Guardian, the fight at UFC Vegas 110 between Isaac Dulgarian and Yadier del Valle looked strange. Dulgarian was the favorite, but he lost fast in the first round. Before the fight, many people suddenly bet on del Valle, and the odds changed a lot. The UFC noticed this and asked the FBI to check it. (Tbh, I didn’t know the FBI could intervene in such situations.).. What could happen in this kind of case? Do you think they can really prove that something illegal took place?

Has anything come out in the media about it?

I don’t know if the FBI managed to prove any illegal activity or not, but I heard that Dana White suspended the fighter from the UFC.

Is this the normal suspension they get after every match? Or an actual suspension? Pretty interesting!

I had no money on that match, but after watching it back closely, I would bet every dollar to my name that Dulgarian threw the fight. I'm rarely this certain... The huge line movement is a smoking gun, but the fight footage itself is very telling to the trained eye.

I don't know how capable the FBI is, but without anybody talking or some paper trail linking to Dulgarian, there is no legal case against him; he will probably walk.

Even if he is never charged/convicted of anything, IMO no major organization will sign him, as his alleged dive has already been accepted as fact in the mma sphere -- his career as a professional mma fighter is over.

He was released (and I would bet permanently blacklisted), not just suspended, by the UFC. 

The suspension is on the part of the athletic commission.
