Conor McGregor is out $100,000 after placing a bizarre bet on the FIFA World Cup Final this evening.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Legendary two-weight UFC world champion McGregor claimed to have seen a viral tweet from 2021 by which an X user predicted the 2026 Final. The social media poster claimed to have one way or the other seen the match five years prior to it happening, and predicted it might end 3-2 to Argentina.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for the Irishman, it was yet one more defeat for him following his return to the octagon at UFC 329. Not only did the match end 1-0 to Spain, it also made it out of the 90 minutes as he predicted and went to extra-time.<\/p>\n

Conor McGregor loses $100,000 World Cup Final bet<\/h2>\n

Had Argentina managed to win the match 3-2 inside 90 minutes, Conor McGregor would have pocketed a whopping $3.6 million for his bet. Nevertheless, it was a comparatively slow-paced affair and Lionel Messi\u2019s men hardly had as many as three shots on goal inside the game.<\/p>\n
