After Dave Oancea's last two big MMA bets, we doubt there will be many people questioning his wisdom.

The high-stakes bettor, known as 'Vegas Dave', went against all received wisdom by backing Holly Holm to beat Ronda Rousey last year, and it paid off for him with a $240,000 payday. So when he put down $77,000 on another underdog, it was probably because he knew they had a very good chance of victory. And, true to form, the five-figure bet on Miesha Tate to dethrone Holm at the first attempt paid dividends, earning Oancea a cool $300k. https://twitter.com/itsvegasdave/status/706352395853234180 The Hawaiian professional punter has had faith in 'Cupcake' for a long time, and caught up with her in the week before her victory over Holm. https://twitter.com/itsvegasdave/status/703391985462161408 And the pair were reunited after it was all said and done, at which point Vegas Dave knew it was time to celebrate. https://twitter.com/itsvegasdave/status/706374550619975680 https://twitter.com/itsvegasdave/status/706412322701488128
