Another major betting scandal has arisen in the sports world. This time in the UFC. The UFC has cut fighter Issac Dulgarian just days after losing his first fight in the UFC in the first round. Dulgarian was cut after betting sites reported irregular betting patterns on his fight. BREAKING: Isaac Dulgarian has been released by the UFC, per @arielhelwani While the official reason cited is last night’s loss, the decision comes amid controversy after Dulgarian’s betting odds drastically changed just before his fight at #UFCVegas110 last night A large… pic.twitter.com/AtvpuiYyUf — Championship Rounds (@ChampRDS) November 3, 2025 CBS News provided further details on the betting probe: The Ultimate Fighting Championship mixed martial arts company has cut fighter Issac Dulgarian, days after his loss by first round submission to Yadier del Valle during Saturday’s Fight Night prompted a probe of possible pre-bout irregular betting patterns. This makes the UFC the latest sports entity navigating a possible gambling-related integrity issue, joining Major League Baseball and the National Basketball Association, which recently saw FBI arrests connected to a gambling investigation. Suspicious gambling activity was reportedly flagged after the odds on Dulgarian, the favorite, changed rapidly in the hours leading up to the bout, leading several major sports betting sites to stop taking wagers on the contest due to the betting patterns. The UFC said in a statement Monday: “Like many professional sports organizations, UFC works with an independent betting integrity service to monitor wagering activity on our events. 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.” The controversy may have played out in the Octagon. Cageside commentators Daniel Cormier and Michael Chiesa called the submission “white belt stuff” on air, implying that sloppy actions led to the loss. The integrity of specific UFC bouts has faced scrutiny before, most notably for contests involving former UFC veteran and coach James Krause. He was investigated for allegedly using his background in mixed martial arts to offer insights to offshore sportsbooks and bettors. Krause was also suspended by the UFC for failing to disclose a fighter’s pre-fight injury. He was never charged with any crimes. There’s a scandal brewing in the UFC after Isaac Dulgarian’s suspect performance on Saturday. Here’s everything you need to know after Dulgarian was cut and the news of his pay being withheld. pic.twitter.com/UC7HT80xEU — Spinnin Backfist (@SpinninBackfist) November 4, 2025 The betting probe comes just weeks after the FBI announced arrests of several NBA players and coach who were connected to irregular betting patterns and a gambling scandal. Read the DOJ’s report on the NBA betting and gambling scandal here: Earlier today, at the federal courthouse in Brooklyn, an indictment was unsealed charging six defendants — Eric Earnest, also known as “Spook,” Marves Fairley, also known as “Vez,” “Vezino,” and “Vezino Locks”, Shane Hennen, also known as “Sugar,” Damon Jones, also known as “D Jones,” and “Dee Jones,” Deniro Laster, also known as “Niro,” “Payso,” and “Peso,” and Terry Rozier, also known as “Scary Terry” and “Chum” — with wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering conspiracy for their alleged roles in a scheme to use inside information from National Basketball Association (NBA) players and coaches to profit from illegal betting activity. The defendants, who are located across the country, will be arraigned at a future date in the Eastern District of New York. Joseph Nocella Jr., United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, Kash Patel, Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI); Christopher G. Raia, Assistant Director in Charge, FBI, New York Field Office; and Jessica S. Tisch, Commissioner, New York City Police Department (NYPD), announced the charges. “As alleged, the defendants turned professional basketball into a criminal betting operation, using private locker room and medical information to enrich themselves and cheat legitimate sportsbooks,” stated United States Attorney Nocella. “This was a sophisticated conspiracy involving athletes, coaches, and intermediaries who exploited confidential information for profit. Insider betting schemes erode the integrity of American sports, and this Office will continue in its strong tradition of holding accountable anyone who seeks to corrupt sports through illegal means.” Mr. Nocella thanked the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and the FBI’s Philadelphia Field Office for their invaluable assistance in the investigation. “Today the FBI arrested six people, including current and former NBA players, for their alleged role in illegal sports betting and money laundering conspiracy – the result of a sweeping investigation conducted by outstanding FBI professionals and partners. Using private information and positions of power to rig sports gambling outcomes is not only illegal, but destroys the integrity of the game and will never be tolerated. We will continue following the money to ensure gambling operations of all kinds stay within the law and bring to justice those who take advantage of innocent victims,” stated FBI Director Patel. “Former and current NBA players and coaches, including Terry Rozier, Damon Jones and additional co-conspirators, allegedly informed the defendants and others of confidential information relating to upcoming NBA games and player performances, such as pre-release medical information and a player’s intention to alter their upcoming game performance, which favored certain bettors within their inner social circle,” stated FBI Assistant Director in Charge Raia. “This alleged collusion resulted in the defendants secretly pocketing their lavish winnings and corrupting NBA games. The FBI will never turn a blind eye to any insider betting scheme within sporting industries – regardless of title or professional affiliation – to protect its integrity and afford all participants a fair chance to win big. “Rigging a professional basketball game for personal profit is as immoral as it is illegal,” stated NYPD Commissioner Tisch. “This investigation exposed a gambling ring built around the NBA, where players and associates allegedly used inside information and even faked injuries to fraudulently manipulate bets on games. The fact that some players altered their performance or took themselves out of games to ensure these bets paid out is an offense to every player and fan. Thanks to the incredible work of the NYPD detectives and our partners at the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office, this illegal sports betting operation has been benched for good.” As set forth in the indictment, between December 2022 and March 2024, the defendants and their associates obtained and misused non-public information about upcoming NBA games to place fraudulent sports wagers for profit and then laundered the proceeds.

What did former President Joe Biden not know, and when did his staff know it? That is the question that will haunt the former president and his inner circle for years to come as tell-all books and reports from Hill Republicans tell the story of Biden’s mental decline, which a tight-knit group of top Biden aides tried to hide from the public. The latest revelations come via the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, which released a 91-page report, “The Biden Autopen Presidency: Decline, Delusion, and Deception in the White House,” on Oct. 28. But really, the report’s name should be: “The Gang That Couldn’t Spin Straight.” I’ve read government reports on corrupt behavior that you knew would make for sophisticated drama. The autopen report shouts comedy gold. Think Mel Brooks’ “The Producers”—which fits because Team Biden got filmmaker Steven Spielberg and producer Jeffrey Katzenberg to coach Biden before his 2024 State of the Union address. With a script and advice from two Hollywood legends, Biden was a star. But also, Biden enjoyed a low bar. His winning line during his 2020 debate against now-President Donald Trump: “Will you shut up, man?” According to the report, White House physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor failed to order a cognitive test on the president. It was a choice that screamed: “We don’t want to know.” Former senior adviser to the president Anita Dunn brought up the question of whether Biden should undergo a cognitive test—”the one test that would provide some assurance to the American people that the president was not in mental decline,” quoth the report—and it still didn’t happen. They knew. They didn’t want you to know. “Original Sin,” the tell-all book by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, reported that the inner circle discussed having Biden use a wheelchair to prevent POTUS from falling—”but they couldn’t do so until after the election.” O’Connor invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination when the committee questioned him, as did Annie Tomasini, Biden’s deputy chief of staff, and Anthony Bernal, then-first lady Jill Biden’s chief of staff. The report looked at Biden’s use of presidential pardon power, which was highly controversial given that Biden pardoned his son Hunter, who had a record of tax fraud and gun charges, after telling voters he would not pardon his son. Then there were pardons for family members who had not been charged with crimes. The committee estimated that 96% of Biden pardons were issued during his last four months in office. No worries, Biden family. “Presidents cannot undo the pardons of their predecessors. If they could, even long-settled pardons could be vulnerable to challenge,” Jeffrey Crouch, American University associate professor of American history, informed me. Dunn and company were able to contain the story of Biden’s decline—a decline that awaits us all—by wrapping Biden inside a small bubble within the infamous White House bubble. The team put communications aide Ian Sams in charge of answering media questions on Biden’s health and fitness for office, but Sams told the committee his meetings with Biden were “very infrequent.” They numbered four. Sams was in charge of responding to the findings of special counsel Robert Hur, who looked into allegations of Biden’s habitual mishandling of classified information. As he talked with Biden, Hur witnessed the president forgetting when his son Beau passed away and when his term as vice president concluded. Hur also found that Biden “willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen.” But Hur did not file charges because of the challenges of prosecuting a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” Former White House staff secretary Neera Tanden said she saw the president every six to eight weeks. Why did top White House aides try to cover up Biden’s decreasing capacity? To them, I imagine, there was a choice between holding onto power and letting go. Alas, there was no George Washington in this swamp. In the beginning, they may have told themselves that only Biden, an experienced hand, could beat Trump, which he did in 2020. But then the experienced hand invited chaos at the border, oversaw a botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, and embraced “gender-affirming care” for minors. My favorite quote in the report came from senior Biden adviser Ashley Williams, who offered, “I wouldn’t characterize having a good memory as something that is important in the White House.” COPYRIGHT 2025 CREATORS.COM We publish a variety of perspectives.

Democrat Abigail Spanberger has won the Virginia governor race, defeating Republican Winsome Earle-Sears, numerous outlets project. Spanberger, a former CIA agent who served in the House of Representatives from 2019 to 2025, overcame the headwinds from attorney general candidate Jay Jones, whose politically violent texts threatened to derail Spanberger’s campaign. Spanberger campaigned against President Donald Trump and his policies to root waste, fraud, and abuse out of the federal government through the Department of Government Efficiency. Early results show the Democrat’s strongest support came from the Northern Virginia suburbs near Washington, D.C., home to many federal bureaucrats. The race changed in early October, when National Review’s Audrey Fahlberg exposed text messages in which Jay Jones, the Democrat candidate for attorney general, fantasized about shooting then-House of Delegates Speaker Todd Gilbert, a Republican. Jones said that, in the hypothetical situation where he had only two bullets and could shoot Adolf Hitler, Cambodian dictator Pol Pot, or Gilbert, he declared he would use both bullets on Gilbert. He later fantasized about Gilbert’s children dying in their mother’s arms, and he defended this disgusting death wish by saying, “Only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy.” While Jones sent the texts in August 2022, the revelation came less than a month after the political assassination of Charlie Kirk. Spanberger said she was “disgusted” by the remarks. She added, “as a candidate—and as the next governor of our commonwealth—I will always condemn violent language in our politics.” The Democrat enjoyed a polling lead against Earle-Sears for most of the race, but the Republican gained steam in mid-to-late October.
