Jorge Masvidal wants to bet Dana White $200K on UFC 211 bout with Demian Maia

[TheHNICuLuv2Hate]

“I wish it was in play for this, man. I wish, man. We reached out to him, it was no comment. It was like, ‘Ah you know, just fight this guy,’ and then there was no implications of a bet. So I mean, I don’t think any bet will be made, but I still got the money. The money’s there, it’s on hold. If Dana calls me tomorrow and he goes, ‘Hey, you know what, I’m gonna take you up on that bet, I think Maia’s got your number,’ that money’s going into an escrow account and then the winner the will take the money.”

Masvidal, 32, has reinvented his promotional image since journeying back up to 170 pounds in 2015. The former street fighter has finished Jake Ellenberger and Cerrone in succession and is on the cusp of challenging the hottest fighter in the division. If he can beat Maia and move into title contention, Masvidal will soon have a lot more than $200K to throw on the table.

idk why any fighter thinks dana would ever accept their stupid bets lol

 

[JayPettryMMA]

I don't think promoters can bet on one of their fighters over another. Just a wild guess.

Masvidal gets dumber by the minute. Can't wait until Maia submits him.

First round RNC.

Might be in for a shock then when Masvidal lumps up Maia en route to a TKO victory.

Won't happen I'd be surprised if it takes Maia longer then a round to get the submission victory.

UFC fighters don't get paid enough...but a fringe guy like Masvidal has $200 G's to throw around on a bet?

LW high school wrestler feeling very confident against
MW legendary grappler and title contender...

Delusional.

Cosmic justice is gonna do Maia a solid.

He wins. Fuck DW, and the fuckin shit show more commonly known as, the UFC. Probably an illegal bet. But, in private...

I'd take that bet.

Well you're in for a surprise because Masvidal believe it or not has the best TDD of any fighter Maia has faced in years. Lol

I would not touch this fight with money.

Both fighters have a very clear path to victory.

I don't think anybody stops that first round Maia takedown but if he survives the first, the chance of victory goes in his favor. First round J-Lau ain't got shit on first round Maia.

What does he need to bet dana for? A casino would give him better odds. Not to mention it's illegal for promoters to bet on fights they promote for obvious reasons. Between Jorge and Al added together they might make 100 IQ.

 

[Bvr]

Not a bad bet for Dana. If Maia wins he gets 200k. If Maia loses they don't have to give him a title shot. What's 200k to Dana anyways? 4 hands of black jack?

 

[TGArthur]

First time this guy makes really good money in his life, and he wants to be it all away? great

 

[MuyThaiElbows]

Old news. Maia via early sub
