Is a new curse brewing in the world of MMA? While Drake may have finally shaken off his infamous hex after Alexander Volkanovski cashed in big for him at UFC 314, another betting bug might be spreading. According to the fans, the mantle may have now shifted to SteveWillDoIt. So, what happened?

At UFC 315 in Montreal, Belal Muhammad walked into the Octagon looking to defend his welterweight title for the first time. Standing across from him? Jack Della Maddalena, the Australian challenger known for his dynamite fists. What followed was a five-round war. Blood spilled, tempers flared, and in the end, the judges ruled unanimously in favor of Della Maddalena. The Aussie fighter snatched gold and snapped Muhammad’s 11-fight unbeaten run.

But while Della Maddalena soaked in the victory, one man sat in disbelief, SteveWillDoIt. Known for his over-the-top giveaways and wild gambling antics, Steve (real name Stephen Deleonardis) had a $600,000 parlay riding on Muhammad.

In the clip that has now gone viral online, shared by ‘Happy Punch’ on Instagram, he can be heard yelling, “Belal, you’re the last leg of my parlay, don’t f— this up, I win $600,000. Belal, don’t f— this up! Win my parlay!”. The video ends with Steve stunned, standing cage-side, frozen in disbelief while ‘Sound of Silence’ plays over the video!

Muhammad leaned on his wrestling later in the fight, but Della Maddalena proved slippery and unshakable. He didn’t give up a takedown until Round 4 and kept coming forward. In the end, the belt had a new owner, and for SteveWillDoIt, that became a $600K lesson in MMA unpredictability. But was it just a bad bet? Or is the Steve curse real? Let’s see how fans reacted to the disaster!

Fans roast SteveWillDoIt as new “betting curse” falls upon Belal Muhammad and Jack Della Maddalena

One fan wrote, “The betting curse can almost never be broken.” After all, the lore of MMA curses runs deep, from the Drake curse to the Embedded haircut jinx. And now, fans believe SteveWillDoIt has joined that cursed club. Despite his confidence, his $600K gamble only added fuel to the myth that when big names bet big, disaster often follows.

Another added, “Bet that was a long quiet drive home.” A perfectly painful jab. Considering Steve’s loud presence pre-fight, the silence post-fight probably hit harder than Jack Della Maddalena’s punches.

One user said, “They really thought he won, too. Money does weird things to some people.” Judges had scored the bout 48-47, 48-47, and 49-46 in favor of the Aussie, and his belief that Muhammad had won the fight? Blind loyalty? Or just the cold grip of bad luck? What do you think?

Another fan commented, “Daamn, that’s almost the worst bet I’ve ever seen.” Harsh, but not entirely unfair. The odds were tilted slightly in Muhammad’s favor, with some sportsbooks listing him at -190 against Della Maddalena’s +150. Still, it was a risky call. Especially if SteveWillDoIT believed judges would reward Belal Muhammad’s late grappling attempts.

And finally, a ruthless reaction that read, “I love it when these gamblers lose their money.” Not everyone sympathizes with high-stakes bettors. For some fans, watching influencers lose absurd amounts of money adds a dose of reality to a sport often surrounded by spectacle.

To wrap things up, SteveWillDoIt’s massive $600K bet crashing down in flames has now become part of internet folklore, right up there with Drake’s unlucky picks and superstitions about UFC Embedded haircuts. Is this just the beginning of a new superstition in the fight world? Or was it just another high-stakes gamble gone wrong? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
