Former UFC two-division champion, Conor McGregor, has responded to his unsuccessful bet on Michael Chandler to win against Paddy Pimblett.
Their fight was part of UFC 314 this past weekend, where Pimblett secured a technical knockout victory in the third round.
McGregor commented on social media, initially using strong language towards Chandler but then acknowledging his skills. He mentioned that his past interactions with Chandler and the odds of a knockout victory led him to place the bet. However, McGregor admitted his intuition favored Pimblett, recognizing his progress and potential for growth, despite considering the division itself to be weak but competitive, leading to exciting fights.
In closing, McGregor jokingly dismissed the $500,000 loss, questioning its significance for someone of his financial status, implying it`s a small amount compared to his wealth. He added that he has already repaid the bet, seemingly in a lighthearted manner.
