Overview
- Steve Erceg won a unanimous decision over Tim Elliott on Saturday at UFC Perth, taking all three scorecards 29-28.
- Earlier in the week, BetOnline reported “irregular action” on the matchup, saying over 91% of professional bets landed on Elliott.
- The flood of wagers on the underdog cut Erceg’s odds from about -400 to near -175 and created the book’s largest exposure, meaning a bigger potential loss if Elliott won.
- The UFC kept the full 13-fight card intact, and there is no public evidence of misconduct by either fighter.
- Past cases shaped the scrutiny, including a January cancellation of Alexander Hernandez vs. Michael Johnson and an FBI-noted look at Isaac Dulgarian’s loss after unusual betting patterns.
