Drake will be in the money if Jon Jones can stop Ciryl Gane inside the distance of their UFC heavyweight title fight.
Jones, 35, makes his heavyweight debut against Gane in the main event of UFC 285 in Las Vegas tonight. The Canadian rap artist is backing 'Bones' to become a two-weight champion in the fight as he bet $250,000 on the fighter to win by submission and $250,000 for him to win by knockout. A submission for Jones would return $1.7million for Drake whilst a knockout returns $1.3million.
The bet comes after Drake lost $400,000 last weekend when he predicted YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul would beat Love Island star Tommy Fury in their grudge fight. Drake is no stranger to betting big money on the UFC, first backing Jorge Masvidal to beat Colby Covington in their grudge fight last March. The rapper lost $275,000 on the fight and his poor fortunes continued when Justin Gaethje was choked out by Charles Oliveira in their title clash just months later.
