In hindsight, mine didn’t age very well… in 2015 my best freind and I were on opposite ends of an MMA bet. I was convinced Connor McGregor had the power to beat José Aldo and avoid the grappling. At the time, I thought McGregor was the best striker and best talker the UFC had seen (he objectively was at the time). He won, my buddy was inconsolable and I put 300 bucks in my pocket. For YEARS it was a fat feather in my cap.
Edit for clarification, it was a 100 dollar bet he gave me 3 to 1 odds on because McGregor really should have lost based on everything. So phenomenal win and the fact it was over in seconds was peak excitement. It aged poorly because McGregor turned out to be a rapist.


Did you win anything? Aside from a new relative.
Just the new relly. We weren’t actually betting money on it. That would kinda be weird.
Yeah, I agree, strange family dynamic if you won like 80 bucks off that.
