Fans and media who closely follow UFC betting lines noticed some strange late movement ahead of UFC Vegas 64’s fight between Darrick Minner and Shayilan Nuerdanbieke. In the hours before the fight, Nuerdanbieke went from being a -220 favorite to -420. In the aftermath of Nuerdanbieke’s first-round knockout win, an investigation has been launched regarding the pre-fight betting for that contest.
ESPN first reported that U.S. Integrity, an organization that indentifies “suspicious behavior by analyzing changes in betting data against a benchmark of normal betting activity,” reported the irregular betting activity a few hours ahead of the event.
