Lenny Fresquez has worked with Holly Holm for more than a decade, and his faith in the fighter paid off in a big way Saturday night.

Holm's agent and promoter told MMA Fighting he won "six figures" betting on Holm to beat Ronda Rousey at UFC 193 in Melbourne.

Heading into the weekend, Holm was getting 10-to-1 odds, though the number had dropped closer to 8-to-1 by fight time. Fresquez was happy to get in at those numbers.

"We made a lot of money," he said. "Thank you, Vegas, for putting the odds up like that."

Pressed on how much he cleared on the upset, he finally acknowledged: "We got into the six figures, I’ll put it that way."
