Sean Brady Dominates Joaquin Buckley After Unusual Betting Flip at UFC 328

A late betting swing raised fresh integrity questions for a sport still nursing past scandals.

Overview

  • Sean Brady dominated Joaquin Buckley on Saturday at UFC 328 in Newark, winning a unanimous decision with scorecards of 30-25, 30-25 and 30-27.
  • Hours before the fight, a flood of bets flipped Buckley from underdog to favorite, and sportsbooks like BetOnline closed prop markets and cut limits.
  • The UFC contacted Brady that day to ask about the irregular line movement, and he reported he was healthy and expected to dominate.
  • The promotion let the bout proceed, and after the event CEO Dana White dismissed talk of wrongdoing, calling the swing heavy interest on a hot card.
  • No public investigation has been announced, but the episode renewed scrutiny after prior UFC betting cases that included a January fight cancellation and an FBI referral in 2025.
