Another sports betting controversy has hit professional sports, this time in mixed martial arts.

The UFC has cut fighter Isaac Dulgarian on Monday, which comes two days after a first-round submission loss to Yadier del Valle at Fight Night in Las Vegas, according to multiple reports.

“Like many professional sports organizations, UFC works with an independent betting integrity service to monitor wagering activity on our events,” the promotion told The New York Post in a statement. “Our betting integrity partner, IC360, monitors wagering on every UFC event and is conducting a thorough review of the facts surrounding the Dulgarian vs. del Valle bout on Saturday, November 1. We take these allegations very seriously, and along with the health and safety of our fighters, nothing is more important than the integrity of our sport.”

Unusual betting activity was flagged for Bulgarian’s fight. Dulgarian, who is now 7-2 in his professional UFC career, was a -250 favorite, but the line moved drastically to -154 leading up to the fight.

Multiple sportsbooks flagged the unusual activity and stopped taking any bets on it before the first-round bell rang. Caesars Sportsbook even offered refunds to anyone who bet on Dulgarian.

“Mobile customers with losing bets on the Dulgarian UFC fight will receive a cash credit within 24 hours (singles), or within 24 hours of the last leg being determine (Parlay/SGP/Super Parlay) should that bet have won without that leg included,” Caesars Sportsbook posted on X.

DraftKings also told The Post it is “aware of potential concerns” about the fight.

“We are working with our integrity monitors and will provide updates to customers as they become available.

Dulgarian, 29, lost by submission, but commentators Daniel Cormier and Michael Chiesa were confused what was happening, as they called Del Valle’s finish “white belt stuff,” believing it wasn’t the most complicated stuff.

Making Dulgarian’s situation more interesting are his comments about his belief that fighters should get a cut for bets on bouts.

“I said, ‘Don’t bet on me unless you’re paying me some percentage.’ I’m doing all the work, that’s how I feel about it,” Dulgarian told MMA Junkie. “…If you’re betting on me, I want some of it.”

As the college basketball season prepares to tip off, an NCAA gambling investigation with links to the NBA betting scandal is impacting the status of multiple players at several schools, according to sources familiar with the probe.

One player has been dismissed from a team, and at least two are being withheld from competition due to eligibility concerns related to the investigation, according to the sources. The NCAA said in a release last week that it had opened investigations into potential betting violations by approximately 30 current or former men’s basketball players. Some of the cases have already been adjudicated, including ones involving former players for Eastern Michigan, Fresno State and San Jose State.

Western Michigan told ESPN on Thursday that senior guard Justice Williams would not be participating in competition, “pending the results of a recent NCAA investigation of events that precede his enrollment” at the school. That investigation is the NCAA’s gambling probe, according to multiple sources with direct knowledge.

Williams did not play in Western Michigan’s exhibition game on Wednesday night. The Philadelphia native started his college career at LSU before transferring to Robert Morris, where he did not play last season because of injury. Attempts to reach him were unsuccessful.

On Friday, Sports Illustrated reported that Eastern Kentucky guard Amarr Knox is also currently ineligible. Knox transferred from Alabama State, which SI reported is a school of interest in the ongoing probe. Eastern Kentucky confirmed to ESPN that Knox is ineligible under NCAA rules but declined further comment.

Earlier this week, two other schools said that players were held out or dismissed. Multiple sources with direct knowledge told ESPN these actions were related to the NCAA’s gambling investigation.

Wisconsin announced Tuesday that senior forward Elijah Gray had been dismissed from the team because of “events preceding his enrollment” at the school. Gray began his college career at Fordham and played last season at Temple.

Dayton announced Sunday that it was withholding sophomore guard Adam Njie from competition after being notified by the NCAA of potential eligibility concerns “connected to matters that occurred prior to his enrollment at the university.” Njie played previously at Iona.

“In light of these concerns and the ongoing review process, Adam will not be participating in athletic competition at this time,” Dayton athletic director Neil Sullivan said in a statement posted on social media.

Attempts to reach Gray and Njie were unsuccessful. A spokesperson for Dayton declined additional comment Tuesday.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania is also investigating allegations of point shaving in college basketball, according to sources with direct knowledge of the federal investigation. Federal authorities have interviewed multiple college athletes, the sources told ESPN. Some of the same bettors indicted in the NBA betting scandal have been linked to suspicious betting on college basketball.

ESPN previously reported that Marves Fairley, who was federally indicted last week in the betting case involving the NBA’s Terry Rozier and Damon Jones, placed suspicious wagers on college basketball games at a Mississippi casino and had been banned from betting companywide. At the time, Fairley denied any involvement in point-shaving schemes when reached by ESPN.

The NCAA announced in September that it is investigating 13 former men’s basketball players at six schools — Arizona State, Temple, North Carolina A&T, Eastern Michigan, University of New Orleans and Mississippi Valley State — in its gambling probe.

ESPN previously reported that indictments are expected. The college basketball season tips off Monday.
