Conor McGregor wins UFC 307

Conor McGregor celebrated a $200,000 win from a $1 million bet on Alex Pereira's successful defense of his light-heavyweight title against Khalil Rountree Jr. at UFC 307, where Pereira won by technical knockout in the fourth round. Following the fight, McGregor took to social media to express his excitement and urged Pereira to move up to heavyweight instead of returning to middleweight, suggesting a potential match against UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones. McGregor's public outburst emphasized Pereira's capability, as he has previously held titles in both 185lb and 205lb weight classes, making a move to heavyweight a historic opportunity. Meanwhile, McGregor's own return to the octagon remains uncertain due to ongoing injuries, having not fought since July 2021. His scheduled comeback against Michael Chandler was canceled due to a toe injury, with Chandler now set for a rematch with Charles Oliveira. McGregor's betting habits have been notable since his injury, indicating a continued engagement with the sport despite his absence from competition.
