<p>The UFC legend stood to pull in over €3m with a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/notorious-ufc-legend-conor-mcgregor-huge-bet-england-lose-euro-2024-final-land-over-3-million/blt1b58a54f254d4d31" target="_blank">pre-match flutter that saw him predict a 3-1 victory for La Roja</a> in Berlin.

THE GOSSIP

<p>The odds of that bet were boosted to 11/1, meaning that McGregor has landed himself another seven-figure sum. He posted on social media, alongside an image of his coupon: “Vamos Spain!
