Not everyone counted out Justin Gaethje ahead of his fight against Ilia Topuria.
Gaethje (28-5) challenged Topuria (17-1) for the undisputed lightweight title in the main event at UFC White House last weekend at the White House. Gaethje was as big as a +500 underdog on some sportsbooks going into the fight.
However, Francis Ngannou thought the oddsmakers were being unfair to Gaethje. The former UFC heavyweight champion couldn’t fathom why Gaethje was such a massive underdog, considering “The Highlight” always put on a show even in his losses. Ngannou put his money on Gaethje, who made Topuria’s corner throw in the towel at the end of the fourth round. Gaethje finally won the much deserved undisputed title in his third attempt. Ngannou thanked the newly crowned lightweight champion for making his week.
“I bet on Gaethje,” Ngannou told TMZ Sports. “I saw these odds and I’m like, ‘Something’s wrong with these bookmakers.’ Like, what’s wrong? This is Justin Gaethje, man. Even when the guy lost, he always showed up and put on a show. He’s good at taking people out… Thanks to him, I had a wonderful day. I’m having a beautiful week.”
Ngannou is not the only one who bet on Gaethje. Arman Tsarukyan allegedly won a payout of $5.7 million after betting $1 million on Gaethje. Tsarukyan now plans to honor his promise of gifting Gaethje a truck.
