Conor McGregor seems to have benefited tremendously from Nate Diaz’s win over Jorge Masvidal in the recent boxing match. The duo previously fought for the ceremonial BMF title in the UFC with Masvidal defeating Diaz by TKO. However, fighting under boxing rules in the rematch stripped Masvidal of a lot of weapons that helped him get the best of Diaz in MMA.

McGregor, who has fought Diaz twice and had a heated social media rivalry with Masvidal, predicted a Diaz victory heading into the boxing match and felt confident to bet a six-figure amount on the Stockton native. He wrote:

“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**s 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. @Duelbits #bestodds”Trending

After Diaz secured a majority decision win over Masvidal on July 6, McGregor reacted to his post declaring the intention to bet $500,000 and wrote:

“THE RICH GET RICHER!!! Well done Nate, congrats!”
