Conor McGregor loses $1m in bets in just a week after Max Holloway wager that would have landed him $17m gets ruined

CONOR McGREGOR lost $1million in bets in just a week – after missing out on a huge $17MILLION wager.

Only one week before UFC 308, McGregor placed $500,000 (£385,000) on Renan Ferreira to beat Francis Ngannou.

Then a week later, McGregor put $500,000 on Robert Whittaker to knock out Khamzat Chimaev and Max Holloway to KO Ilia Topuria.

Chimaev submitted Whittaker in a round and Topuria KOd Holloway in the third.

It meant McGregor’s losses sunk to $1m (£770,000) while his sensational $17m (£13.1m) bet went down the drain.

Topuria, 27, became the first to KO Holloway, 32, and was called out by McGregor online in the aftermath.

He said in a series of separate posts: “Call me.

“Cave his head in handy.

“Good little fighter, too small for anything substantial IMO. He was getting chewed up there.”

Hitting back, Topuria told ESPN: “I dunno what to say, f*** him. I’m telling you, f*** him.

“He fakes the comeback everytime, he insults everyone in the UFC, he’s like, ‘I don’t care about anyone, I don’t respect anyone.’

“Bro, you’re f***ing sick. You have some problems to fix in your f***ing mind.

“You need to take some classes in respect because you’re going to end up really, really bad.

“When you follow these kind of values in your life, you’re going to end up really bad.

“Ask to God, don’t cross paths with me, never, ever, because I’m going to f*** you up.”
