  • Presiden UFC, Dana White, mengaku pernah memasang taruhan untuk sebuah pertandingan tinju.
  • Dana White taruhan uang 1 juta dolar AS untuk menjagokan Jermain Taylor kala menghadapi Kelly Pavlik.
  • Dana White kehilangan uang 1 juta dolar AS karena Kelly Pavlik menang TKO pada ronde ketujuh. 

SKOR.id - Presiden UFC, Dana White, ternyata pernah kehilangan uang dengan jumlah sangat besar akibat taruhan dalam sebuah pertandingan tinju.

Momen menyedihkan itu terjadi pada 29 September 2007. Kala itu, dirinya bertaruh 1 juta dolar AS (sekitar Rp14 miliar) untuk Jermain Taylor.

Dana White menjagokan Jermain Taylor (Amerika) saat menghadapi Kelly Pavlik (Inggris) dalam sebuah pertandingan tinju kelas menengah. 

Melihat perawakan Jermain Taylor, Dana White tak ragu memasang taruhan untuk sang petinju. Bahkan dengan nilai yang fantastis.

Pria 51 tahun itu yakin, dengan postur tubuh proporsional, akan sulit bagi Kelly Pavlik untuk  mengandaskan perlawanan Jermain Taylor.

Sayang, prediksinya tersebut meleset. Jermain Taylor tak kuasa membendung keganasan Kelly Pavlik dan kalah TKO pada ronde ketujuh. 

"Saya bertaruh 1 juta dolar AS untuk Jermain Taylor namun akhirnya dihancurkan Kelly Pavlik," kata Dana White soal pengalaman taruhan.   

"Itu adalah kali pertama saya bertaruh sampai 1 juta dolar AS karena begitu yakin Jermain Taylor akan memenangi pertarungan tersebut." 

Dana White mengaku benar-benar tak menyangka kalau petinju kelahiran Little Rock, Arkansas tersebut bakal kalah TKO.  

Merujuk ke belakang, Dana White dibesarkan di Boston. Tapi, awal 1990-an, dia pergi ke Las Vegas usai bertemu bos kriminal, Whitey Bulger.

Tinggal di Las Vegas membawanya pada nasib menjadi Presiden UFC. Saat ini, UFC jadi ajang seni bela diri campuran (MMA) terbesar dunia.
