Prop bets are commonplace for MMA fights, but for MMA press conferences? Not so much. Every rule has an exception, though – and UFC 246 is just that.
On Wednesday night, UFC 246 headliners [autotag]Conor McGregor[/autotag] and [autotag]Donald Cerrone[/autotag] will see eye to eye for the first time at a news conference. The event is set to take place at Pearl Concert Theater in Las Vegas and is free and open to the public. It’s scheduled to kick off at 5 p.m. PT (8 p.m. ET).
On Tuesday, online sports book “Sports Betting” released opening prop bet odds for the pre-fight event, which include “Will Donald Cerrone wear a cowboy hat?,” “Will Conor McGregor hold a Proper Twelve bottle?,” and everyone’s favorite, “How late will Conor McGregor be to the press conference?”
