On the rise in featherweights (up to 65,7kg.), david onama caused controversy due to his performance in UFC Las Vegas 58. After beating Garrett Armfield with a katagatame in the second round, the Ugandan thanked the sports consultant, 'Skinnybets', for betting that the fight would end in the middle of the round, with over 1.5. Through the platform'Stake', the specialist put in around US$12 and received a return of US$19 (around R$100 at the current exchange rate).
“Thank you for the support my brother Skinnybets”, wrote Onama in his 'Instagram' official.

The publication caused controversy among his followers. One user tried to warn him that the post would be 'bad' for the MMA community, while another gave his opinion against fighters who get involved, even if involuntarily, with betting houses.
In a post-fight interview, still in the octagon, David also tried to thank him and even mentioned his friend's name on the Ultimate broadcast, shown on 'ESPN', in the United States. Posteriorly, Skinnybets celebrated the mention and published the moment in his Instagram stories.
A promising UFC featherweight (up to 65,7 kg), Onama confirmed his favoritism and overcame Garrett Armfield – who had taken on the fight four days in advance – with a submission via katagatame in the second round, after a studied and balanced initial round. He has a record of ten wins and just one loss – being in his debut for the organization against Mason Jones.
