Oscar De La Hoya recently went off on Dana White and TKO in light of the fight-fixing scandal at UFC Vegas 110 last weekend.

For context, the Isaac Dulgarian-Yadier Del Valle fight came under the scanner after some very suspicious betting line movement shortly before the bout started. While Dulgarian was the betting favorite, the odds shifted significantly just before the fight.

Additionally, Dulgarian's questionable performance during the fight and his subsequent first-round submission loss led to the UFC informing the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and seemingly initiating a larger investigation into the potential issue of fight-fixing.

In a recent Instagram video, De La Hoya shared his reaction to the UFC's potential betting scandal. Trolling White, his longtime rival, the boxing promoter said:

"News came out this week that I cannot ignore, and one of my enemies is in boiling hot sh*t. I mean that stinky, smelly, hot lava, cow dung fire, out-of-my-a** type of sh*t. You know what I’m talking about. My friend Dana White and the UFC are being investigated by the FBI for allegedly fixing over 100 fights, with the latest one over the weekend that was incredibly suspicious. I mean, wow, was anybody really surprised? No."

He continued:

"I’ve been trying to tell you guys, these TKO guys are scumbags. Now they’re trying to change the Muhammad Ali Act to f*ck boxers over. Get the f*ck out of our sport. Everything you touch turns to absolute sh*t. And now you have the FBI crawling up your a*s? Good f*cking luck... Dana’s shirt is definitely stressed at this point, and he’s having a terrible week. But guess what? I’m having a great week.”

Dana White sends ice-cold warning to UFC fighters after Isaac Dulgarian-Yadier Del Valle fight scandal

Dana White recently made his and the UFC's stance clear on fighters who cheat. The UFC CEO addressed the ongoing fight-fixing allegations connected to the Isaac Dulgarian vs. Yadier Del Valle fight and warned fighters against cheating.

In an interview on The Jim Rome Show (via @jedigoodman on X), White also dismissed the idea of "hundreds of fights" being investigated and said:

"There’s talk out there saying hundreds of fights are being investigated in the UFC. That’s all BS. None of that’s true. There are two instances we know about. Fighters saying they were approached to throw a fight and never told us, it’s a weird thing, but it’s a real thing. This kid hasn’t been proven guilty yet. It doesn’t look good, but there’s no concrete evidence. If you come in here and try to cheat or fix fights, I will be your worst enemy. I will come after you, and if you did it, I will do everything in my power to make sure you go to prison.”
