The 3 million $ bet wasn't only for an outright win, it was that he would finish Mendes early.

[TwoWays]

Fake. Just trying to drum up more interest.

[BIGDAY]

Cant wait to hear him after he gets KOed.

[TwoWays]

If the guy wanted action he could have got it on the down low

[FlipsideRM]

Fake. Just trying to drum up more interest.

I'm not so sure, he's stated in numerous interviews that he "fancies a good wager every now and then"

[Covy]

He should win.

Agree with guy above though...gotta be fake

300k seems more reasonable, but I believe the 3 mil number is inflated

[Unwritten Law]

He probably bet on Mendes and say it was a fluke after he taps out in less than a minute.

[yydouble]

Fake or not, he's confident.

[Big Bear]

If the guy wanted action he could have got it on the down low

exactly.

Just to prove a point they should cancel this fight and ban this douche bag for 1 year.

If Pete Rose got banned then ban this clown too.

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

Cant wait to hear him after he gets KOed.

BigDay you already down with the wrasler at +150???

[BIGDAY]

BigDay you already down with the wrasler at +150???

Hoping it climbs to +250

[jjgold]

Of course it's fake he doesn't have that type of money to lose

[Giants007]

he offered the bet to Dana, not any sportsbook, of course Dana said no. In the UFC you are allowed to bet on yourself

UFC turning into WWE

lol I thought that too.

It seems guys like him are trying to follow Ali and Mayweather as far as promoting goes, be a jerk, hype yourself up. The more attention you get, even its as the villain, the more you getting paid. Atleast him and Ali backed up their talk and are entertaining

[Giants007]

Aldo would have made $4 mil if he fought this weekend

Tremendous comparison UFC and pro wresting

It's getting close

The UFC wishes it could be as successful as the WWF.

[PaperTrail07]

Literally calls its adult storytelling LOL

[jjgold]

It never will be
It could only go down

The UFC wishes it could be as successful as the WWF.

[yydouble]

It could be way better. It's completely disorganized.

[Retibol]

"Business as usual"

I feel sorry for those guys who believes in the hype and actually betting on mcgregor at -160 or whatever

[icecapper]

Pete Rose territory. What a disgrace.

[jjgold]

Connor does not even have balls to bet 5k

[Wohlford]

Connor does not even have balls to bet 5k

Don't you think he's effectively upped the ante by much more than $5k with his trash talk alone? He's raised the stakes for himself. Dude has balls, and I hear he's going to rest them on Mendes' forehead.

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Conor is going to lose this fight.

In the modern era of insane sports salaries, these guys are incredibly underpaid considering the amount of work and life discipline needed to get into the cage. Then there is Dana White being worth $300m.

[oldscho0led]

I wonder why you can't bet on yourself in UFC. Bernard Hopkins once bet on himself against Tito Trinidad..and everyone knows it.
