Ryan Gracis is set on making the wildest imaginations of his fans turn into reality. First, it was the massive stunt he successfully pulled off by placing a bet on himself last week. He is making a special appearance on Deion Sanders’s Instagram page, donned in the classic Black and Gold uniform. Not only did it surprise Deion Sanders, but it was also a moment he remembered. Sanders was thrilled to learn some sparring moves from him. While the sparring moves taught Sanders a thing or two about MMA, Sanders’ face dropped when Ryan Gracia mentioned his last payout.
Gracia very casually mentioned him winning $12 million after his fight with Devin Haney in New York after betting $2 million on himself. Deion Sanders was left shell-shocked. “You gotta call me,” Sanders said after hearing the staggering profits. However, he smoothly covered it with, “I’m betting on Jesus.” He later added to that regret of missing out on the massive profit with an even playful comment, saying, “I wish you would have just told me earlier.”

Gracia not only profited financially. He defeated the previously undefeated WBC light welterweight champion and made about $50 million from his fight on DAZN PPV. This adds another win to his almost lossless professional boxing career, since he has only lost one game in his professional boxing career.
Gracia was in attendance at the CU game, which is how he ended up in Deion Sanders’ office post-game, for which he reportedly received a special invitation from Prime. Sanders ensured Colorado’s reputation with the team’s performance in the Spring games.

Deion Sanders’s influence on the Colorado Buffs team is already clear. Not only did he turn the Spring games into a festival, setting new standards for future CFB spring games, but he also injected a new wave of excitement into the team. The first glimpse of the team he’s been molding over the past months was a revelation, with the 4-8 Buffs team looking remarkably different. It’s clear that Sanders’s coaching is making a significant impact.
The offense is pretty bolstered up, with Jordan Seaton and other commendable additions allowing only one sack in the game. LaJohntay Wester proved to be an absolute beast in the slot, stealing the show with his 66 yards on only three receptions, scoring a 23-yard touchdown. Wester assures CU fans that he easily dominates the offenses on the field while Jordan Seaton and Hank Zilinskas handle the offense. The Buffs seemingly won’t face a problem when the players for the 2025 NFL draft leave.
