Rapper Drake won $1.7million from his $500,000 bet as Jon Jones choked out Ciryl Gane to win the UFC heavyweight title in Las Vegas.
Jones, 35, was making heavyweight debut against Gane in the main event of UFC 285 in Las Vegas with the division’s undisputed title on the line. And Canadian rap artist Drake backed 'Bones' to become a two-weight champion in the fight as he staked $250,000 on the fighter to win by submission and $250,000 for him to win by knockout.
And Jones' three-minute submission win returned $1.7m, the better result for Drake who would have banked $1.3m if Jones had won the belt by KO.
