Conor McGregor is reacting to the Michael Chandler-Paddy Pimblett fight. On Saturday night, McGregor revealed that he placed a $500k bet on Chandler to beat Pimblett.
Unfortunately for McGregor, Pimblett put an absolute beatdown on Chandler. After the fight, Pimblett blasted McGregor for betting on Chandler over him.
“Anyone can get it. Even McGregor,” Pimblett said. “Putting money on Chandler to win, lad. The Irish-Scouse connection. He’s meant to back me and he never [does]. So if he wants it, he’ll get muffed ears as well.”
“What happened Conor, eh? Should have mentioned him in the cage, you little lizard. I thought you would’ve backed your own, lad. Irish and Scouse. If you are coming back, lad, let’s do it. Wembley, Croke Park. I’m after you as well.”
On Monday, McGregor explained his decision to bet on Chandler over Pimblett.
