While Alberta has lifted its restrictions on betting on UFC fights, the first Canadian province to suspend betting on UFC events, Ontario, has yet to take that same step.
Both Provinces had suspended betting on UFC fights after an investigation was launched into gambling activity surrounding Darrick Minner’s fight with Shaylilan Nuerdanbieke at UFC Vegas 64: Rodriguez vs. Lemos on November 5, 2022. Minner lost that fight by first round TKO, after it was clear he was suffering some form of leg injury.
The betting lines dramatically shifted days before the fight, with Minner’s odds of winning plummeting.
