Conor McGregor isn’t fighting, but he’s preferring to stay in the loop regarding UFC 308. The Irishman has already put an astounding $500,000 on line with respect to his predictions regarding the outcome of a couple of fights, and guess what? McGregor revealed that the return is more than thirty times the amount he put in, $17.2 million, to be exact.

During a recent voice clip posted on X, Conor McGregor stated, “So, ladies and gentlemen. My bet; half a million; two knockout wins. $17 million US dollars is the return,” and added, “An absolutely colossal bet tonight on Duelbits. McGregor picks, let’s go. 17Ms baby, bring it home.” In another tweet, ‘The Notorious’ revealed that he put his money on two of the most experienced UFC fighters, on two former champions, Robert Whittaker and Max Holloway, to clinch victory.

It’s not a surprise that Conor McGregor put some pretty big money on the line for UFC 308 because, in the previous pay-per-view, the Irishman put a million dollars on Alex Pereira to score the win against Khalil Rountree Jr. Guess what? McGregor won big, as ‘Poatan’ secured a 4th-round technical knockout. But could the UFC 308 prediction turn out to be wrong?

Besides, Conor McGregor already has an idea of who will come out victorious at the main event of UFC 308. If you’re wondering who that is, well, it’s his former foe, Max Holloway, who’s eying a second-time featherweight title victory. Let’s see what McGregor had to say about the main event.

Max Holloway’s recent 155-pound venture against Justin Gaethje impressed a lot of people, including Conor McGregor. The knockout at 4 minutes and 59 seconds of the fifth round found its place in the UFC’s history books as not just one of the most memorable finishes but also as one of the most memorable moments in the entirety of the promotion’s history. McGregor, meanwhile, believes that Ilia Topuria might have to resort to grappling tactics, which is where he predicts ‘El Matador;’ might mess up and get caught by Holloway with an ending blow.

“It’s an interesting bout. Ilia will need to rely on his wrestling at some stage and that won’t be a good look for the crowd. That won’t be a good look at how he is speaking. I fancy Holloway to catch him. Good fight, I look forward to it, my own world title,” Conor McGregor stated before the UFC 308 weigh-ins went down.

Conor McGregor has made accurate predictions many times in the past – from the outcomes of his fights to the outcomes of other fights. Will he get the $17.2 million in the aftermath of the co-main and main events of UFC 308? Let us know in the comments below regarding what you think the fights will go down in Abu Dhabi.
