The former dual weight champion of the world, Conor McGregor might be in serious trouble as his bet on the Alex Pereira vs. Khalil Rountree Jr. match might have defied some of the crucial rules of the promotion. Do you want to know more about this development? Stay tuned as we are going to take you on a ride with our latest MMA News Roundup. So, without any further ado, let’s get started.

From the Conor McGregor news, we will move on forward to the women’s bantamweight contender, Kayla Harrison, who appears to have a serious health condition after her UFC 307 match. Lastly, we will conclude our journey on a lighter note as we will reveal a funny incident over the weekend featuring YouTuber Corbin Millet.

Conor McGregor’s $1.2 million bet on UFC 307 set to backfire?

Moments before the Alex Pereira vs. Khalil Rountree Jr. clash at UFC 307, Conor McGregor took to his X handle to ascertain that he would be placing a massive $1 million bet on either of the fighters knocking the other out. As the match progressed, ‘Poatan’ knocked out Rountree Jr in the fourth round to defend his light-heavyweight belt and this made McGregor $200k richer. The former dual weight champion took to his social media handle to flaunt his victory but this might land him in trouble.

Back in 2022, the promotion as well as the fighting commissions dropped a memo that showcased that the fighters as well as the managers would be barred from gambling on any UFC fight, regardless of whether they are involved or not. However, they can be sponsored by the betting apps. This serious defiance of the rules might land ‘Mystic Mac’ in trouble but for now, he has deleted all proofs of his victory.

As we await the response of the promotion regarding the issue, let us move on forward to Kayla Harrison, who appears to have confessed to the horrors of brutal weight cuts.

Kayla Harrison reveals the reality behind the weight-cutting process

The women’s bantamweight division is blessed with another spectacular fighter in the shape of Kayla Harrison. The former Olympic gold medalist defeated Ketlen Vieira last week to cement herself as the next possible bantamweight title contender. Her performance was amazing but in reality, Harrison was suffering from the after-effects of the brutal weight cut. According to her, the weight cut hampered her performance a lot.

While having a conversation with ‘TMZ,’ Harrison confessed, “I don’t like to make excuses. I had to go to the hospital the week before. I was like peeing blood, and there was some stuff going on. So, I don’t like to make excuses, but I definitely wasn’t my best inside the cage Saturday night.”

She further added, “I’m just not built to weigh 135 pounds. Anytime I get under the 150s, it’s not pleasant. The first time was fear of can I do it? And this time, it was fear of like, ‘Oh, God, I have to do it.’ You know, like the anticipation.” Despite her worsening health condition, Harrison secured the victory making her one of the contenders for the bantamweight gold. Now, that we know about the weight cut, let us move on forward to YouTuber Corbin Millet, who had a surprise for the MMA fans.

YouTuber Corbin Millet is in trouble due to his UFC antics

Who comes to mind when we talk about a YouTuber who turns their home upside down for content? The answer will always be Corbin Millet. The YouTube personality has a massive 977k subscribers on his YouTube channel and is known to do crafty things specifically at his home. This time the YouTuber decided to do something that got the appreciation from his father but the ire of his mother.

What’s the prank, you might ask? Millet removed the family chandelier from their dining room and replaced it with a mini jumbotron. The reaction from his parents was nothing but priceless. His father was completely awestruck by the enhancement as he said, “Holy S–t, this is freaking sweet dude.” The father might be impressed but his mother is done with his shenanigans. “This isn’t a f–king frat house,” she roared.

Well, they might or might not keep the same enhancement, however, the prank for sure made the MMA community laugh out loud. Regardless, what’s your take on the hubbub? State your thoughts in the comments below.
