Hardcore UFC fans who missed the live broadcast of UFC Fight Night 61 in Brazil on Sunday were likely stunned when they looked over the results. Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva and Edson Barboza were defeated on a night that was loaded with upsets, as 10 betting favorites lost their fights. That resulted in a huge payday for one savvy gambler.
The sports gambling website Bovada shared a slip on Monday morning that showed a bettor won $48,291 on a nine-leg, $1 parlay. He bet on nine underdogs.

You want to know what’s even more crazy? The guy didn’t even hedge his bet after he went 8-for-8. He let everything ride on Frank Mir against Silva in the main event. Either the bettor didn’t realize he was one win away from $50K, or he has some serious stones.
@john_drama He did not hedge!

That may be the craziest parlay we have ever seen, and we’ve shown you some insane ones in recent months. Good for that guy.
