UFC 308 is live, and Conor McGregor has just released a video of himself placing a major bet on the UFC’s main card fighters. This time, McGregor has wagered $500,000 on Max Holloway and Robert Whittaker to win by KO. Fans are thrilled for both the main and co-main event fights, while the Irish star aims for a big payout by betting on the underdog fighters.
Max Holloway is setting his sights on the title as he prepares to face Ilia Topuria in the main event. Meanwhile, the co-main event will feature former middleweight champion Whittaker against the undefeated Khamzat Chimaev. McGregor’s bold prediction is still to be tested; he took to social media, comfortably seated on his yacht, to share his picks. In a video posted to his Instagram story, McGregor declared his predictions for these exciting matchups. He said,
“Ladies and gentlemen, here’s my picks for the evening. Duelbits, no. 1 odds in the game, Max Holloway, Robert Whittaker, KO victories. Max Holloway, inside the first half of the fight. Robert Whittaker, inside the second half of the fight. Half a million US dollars.”
Can Conor McGregor Cash In on His Bets for Max Holloway and Robert Whittaker?
Holloway’s matchup against the undefeated Ilia Topuria is a challenging one, as Topuria possesses strong boxing and wrestling skills, while Holloway is primarily known for his striking abilities. This will be Topuria’s first featherweight title defense, whereas Holloway, a former champion, brings the experience of multiple title defenses, which could be an advantage.
Meanwhile, Whittaker’s fight against Khamzat Chimaev is set to be epic. UFC President Dana White himself remarked that it would be a tough contest for both. Chimaev, still undefeated, has shown his dominance in the division, while Whittaker, a former middleweight champion, has impressive striking power. With McGregor wagering half a million dollars on this outcome, it’s no small bet. Can he win? Fans will find out soon enough.
