Quick video before UFC 200. Follow this 1 million dollar journey on my snapchat at itsvegasdave #vegasdave #UFC200 pic.twitter.com/Sobnq1mHFA — Dave Oancea (@itsvegasdave) July 9, 2016

In a short period of time, Dave Oancea, better known as “Vegas Dave”, has gone from an unknown to an MMA betting legend. He made a load of cash when Holly Holm defeated Ronda Rousey, and when Miesha Tate choked Holm unconscious at UFC 196, he cashed in a $77K bet for nearly $200K in winnings. Vegas Dave has won millions gambling across sports, with some truly incredible calls that would make any sports fan proud, but he’s currently swallowing a bitter, million dollar loss. His historic bet on Miesha Tate has backfired.

So… Yeah…

Still love u @MieshaTate — Dave Oancea (@itsvegasdave) July 10, 2016

We now know that Amanda Nunes destroyed Tate by busting her up with accurate strikes before forcing her to tap to the rear-naked choke, so because of those bloody few minutes, Dave lost a million dollars.

Maybe it was his haters:

“I mean, unbelievable how miserable some people are out there… they’re praying for me that I lose tonight.”

At least he’s handling it well.

Forget the money. I feel the pain for @MieshaTate I will always be her number one fan. Much love and respect for her. #UFC200 #vegasdave — Dave Oancea (@itsvegasdave) July 10, 2016

For Dave, the only way to react after losing a million bucks in a matter of seconds is a quiet, zen-like calm. A calm perhaps, before the storm of total grief.

It’s a cold night in Nevada for Vegas Dave.
