As you’d expect from a prop bet, some of these are quite hilarious to consider, such as if McGregor or Cerrone will throw an object or the number of times McGregor will drop the F-bomb. Then again, some of them are quite obvious, such as if Cerrone will wear a cowboy hat or if McGregor will wear a suit. It’s up to you to decide which of these prop bets you want to lay your money on, but there does appear to be money made with them.
The press conference on Wednesday should help create some more buzz for this weekend’s event, which seems to not be getting the same amount of hype that McGregor’s fights in the past have had. That could be in part to McGregor’s long layoff, the fact he hasn’t won an MMA fight since 2016, or his legal issues outside of the cage. Regardless of why the fight doesn’t have as much buzz as one would expect, the press conference could help change that, and UFC 246 should end up being a huge event for the UFC as expected.
Do any of the Conor McGregor vs. Donald Cerrone prop bets for UFC 246 stand out to you as potential bets?
