"I don't know what his thought process there was" - Sean O'Malley doesn't understand why Justin Jaynes bet his entire fight purse on himself for UFC Vegas 30 fight

Sean O’Malley has suggested that he doesn’t understand why Justin Jaynes bet his entire fight purse on himself for his UFC Vegas 30 fight.

Justin Jaynes set the MMA community abuzz in the buildup to UFC Vegas 30 by revealing that he was betting around $25,000 on himself. Jaynes asserted that he was betting his entire paycheck on himself to win the UFC Vegas 30 fight.

Expounding upon the same, Justin Jaynes confirmed that if he lost, neither he nor his coaches would get paid for the work they’d put in. Unfortunately, Jaynes lost his featherweight bout at UFC Vegas 30, dropping a closely contested split decision to Charles Rosa.
