UFC commentator and self-described “degenerate gambler” Jon Anik said he was betting MMA before it was cool.

Now that there’s some big money floating around on big fights, all the better.

“The UFC and MMA handle that Vegas is taking in has grown exponentially,” he told MMAjunkie. “When Conor McGregor fights, they’re doing major action – seven-figure action on Conor McGregor fights. As a degenerate, lifelong gambler, that’s very exciting for me.

“I don’t think it’ll ever consistently be on an NFL level, but I’ve always looked at it as another lens through which to look at a sporting event, and I don’t take it for much more than it is.”

I assume basically everyone on here is a degenerate gambler, alcoholic, drug addict, sex worker, or sex offender, and usually a combination of multiple of those.
