The winner at UFC 287 had an “uh oh” moment as she revealed an illegal act. As per UFC’s Fighter Conduct Policy, it is unethical for a fighter or their family members to bet on themselves. However, Hughes recently disclosed that her boyfriend had placed a bet on her.

Sam Hughes said, “I know, uh, my boyfriend told me he put a grand on me, which I wish he wouldn’t have told me that. But he owes me a very good dinner. I’ll tell you that.” A reporter asked, “when did he tell you that?”
