Report: Betting ban issued for UFC 193: Rousey vs. Holm over corruption fears

The Victorian gambling regulator forbade Tabcorp from taking bets on UFC 193: Rousey vs. Holm in Melbourne, citing "integrity issues".

UFC 193 produced 2015's widely proclaimed "Upset of the Year", as Holly Holm knocked out Ronda Rousey with a head kick to cap off a scintillating performance to win herself the UFC women's bantamweight title. Less than a week out from the fight, Holm was in the +1000 range, but a late push led to an average line in the +580 area.

But if you had planned on placing bets through Australian gambling giant Tabcorp, you were out of luck.
