ONE lucky Punter scooped £130,000 after placing an incredible £800,000 on Amanda Nunes to win her clash at UFC 250 in Las Vegas.
It is reportedly the largest bet ever placed on MMA.
The punter took home $1 million incorporating the stake money.
Nunes left opponent Felicia Spencer a bloody mess as she triumphed on points.
The Brazilian totally battered her rival.
And that was great news for the confident gambler.
William Hill told ESPN’s Ben Fawkes it was the largest bet it has taken on an MMA event.
After taking the wager, Hill’s moved Nunes to -650 and Spencer to +450.
Nunes, when told about the wager after her victory, described the bet as “awesome”.
“Now he’s very happy,” she said of the punter. “He’ll probably, like, go and drink something. He should ask me to go with him,” she told ESPN.
Two-weight champ Nunes, who also holds the bantamweight belt, became the first fighter ever to successfully defend both belts at the same time with a dominating display in her unanimous decision victory.
She is the first mum-to-be champion in UFC history.
The South American star, 32, is expecting a baby with her wife and fellow fighter Nina Ansaroff in September.
Nunes, whose fight could have been seen for free, is now unbeaten since 2014.
