Conor McGregor made a ton of money betting on his former rival, Nate Diaz.
On Saturday night, Diaz faced off against former UFC fighter Jorge Masvidal in a 10-round boxing match in Anaheim, California.
Diaz went on to beat Masvidal via majority decision in a highly competitive, action-packed fight that received praise from fans.

“I’ve decided to put $500,000 on Diaz to win tonight’s boxing match. Range, form, experience, solely hands being used, I can’t see Masvidal causing any problems to Nate in a boxing ring whatsoever. They are both little play around dipsh-ts in a fight, play around bollox, but I feel Nate does him in EASY here for real. $500k gets me back $1,625,000 all in.”
This is quite possibly the easiest $1 million McGregor has ever made.
