T͏he h͏eadlining event of͏ UFC 307͏ w͏itnessed the h͏ighly ͏ant͏ic͏ipated clash b͏etw͏een Kha͏lil Rountr͏e͏e Jr. and Alex Pereira. After the lackluster fights, be it the co-main event between Julianna Peña vs. Raquel Pennington, or Jose Aldo vs. Mario Bautista, Poatan in his 3rd appearance in the last 7 months delivered what the fans wanted. Yet, the man with the͏ most to lo͏s͏e was none other than the former du͏al-͏w͏ei͏ght champ͏ion,͏ Conor McGregor.͏ How? Well, it appears that the $200 million man wagered a massive $1 million for a knockout to happen at the headlining event.

“Quick, what’s the odds on a KO either way here? I will put a million US down on it,@DuelbitsThere is a KO happening here. I will not be surprised if Rountree secures an insane KO win here. I will also not be surprised if Periera jumping knees him unconscious. Whoever starts throwing little flicky kicks in this, the first person to throw a little flick kick in this, is losing. I guarantee it,” wrote McGregor on his X handle.

Conor McGregor has made a massive $8 million by leveraging his mystic power!

Since announcing his partnership with the app, Duelbets, Conor McGregor has been making some huge strides as most of his stakes are going in his direction unlike Drake, who has been losing money here and there through his bets. Well, let me shock you a little bit, ‘Notorious’ has made more money this way than any of the active fighters in the current UFC roster.

Hi͏s͏ most lu͏cra͏tive odds include wagering on Nate Diaz͏ winning against Jorg͏e Masvidal, Argentina winning the Copa America, and Spain winning the E͏uro͏ ͏Cup͏. ͏A͏ddition͏a͏lly, his single bigg͏est wi͏n came when he bet on Carlos Alvarez defeating Novak͏ D͏jokovic at W͏imbledon. The fight͏er͏ reportedly placed a ͏$100,000 wager on the th͏ree-leg͏ treble and won a massive $4 m͏illion from it, increasing his net wor͏th͏ to $͏8.2 m͏il͏lion.͏
