UFC -Superster Conor McGregor lost a big gamble on his old rival on UFC 314.
Conor McGregor's belief in his old rival Michael Chandler was short of UFC 314, when Chandler lost to Paddy Pimblett through TKO in the third round in a crooked defeat. McGregor lost a good bet he placed on Chandler because of the fighting result.
Chandler's attempt to return to the lightweight title mix was far from the goal against the UFC-Unbeaten Pimblett in Miami last Saturday. It was a dominant version of Pimblett, who left Chandler's face a bloody mess in what was easily his most impressive UFC show.

Conor McGregor responds to the loss of Michael Chandler on UFC 314
McGregor predicted that Chandler would get the upper hand against Pimblett on UFC 314, so much so that he placed a bet of $ 500,000 on Chandler to walk away with the victory. But after losing a substantial bet on UFC 314, McGregor did not last long to address Chandler and Pimblett after their Co-Main event showcase.
In a recent message to X Brak McGregor his silence about the loss of Chandler against Pimblett.
“Chandler You Motherf – U! Rest on, Fair Play,” McGregor posted. “My history with Mike and the chances of him by Ko waved me to take the risk. My head said Paddy. He only improves with a way to go. Although the division is a pity, it is the same and brings equal good fights. So happy days, you are welcome.
“Oh well, what is $ 500,000 for an MG like me, you can please remind me of it? More than your bag.
“I get it back, I'm sure. I just did it.”
McGregor continues to get the headlines after teasing a potential UFC pension earlier this month despite a long-closed return to the Octagon. Earlier this year he announced his Irish presidential campaign when he explained his new passion for making a political impact in his home country.
In the meantime, Chandler falls to 2-5 in his UFC official period, after losing his third consecutive fight on UFC 314. From this letter, Chandler has not broken his silence about what went wrong against Pimblett.
Chandler your mother poker! Rest on, fair play.
My history with Mike and the opportunities on him through Ko brought me to take the risk.
My head said paddy. He only improves with a way to go.
Although the division is miserable, it is the same and brings equal good fights.
So …

Paddy Pimblett called 'Cheeky' Conor McGregor Na UFC 314 victory
After he had handed McGregor a major financial defeat, Pimblett did not last long to tackle the UFC-SUPERSTER in his availability after the media after the fight. Pimblett issued a fiery response to McGregor after the former two -division champion hinted on the interest in fighting the winner for a future booking.
Pimblett's victory sets him up for a potential no. 1 candidate fight against one of the lightweight elites, including potential matchups with people like Arman Tsarukyan and Charles Oliveira. Pimblett and Tsarukyan have been hooking in the media for weeks, coming from Tsarukyan's last secondary withdrawal to UFC 311.
Although McGregor's fighting career may be over, his interest in MMA and the UFC remains strong, despite paying a big prize to bet on Chandler.
