Rapper Drake won over £3million from a bet on Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann to win their fights at UFC London.
The Canadian has a colourful history of gambling on the UFC and last month halted his losing record when he correctly backed middleweight champion Israel Adesanya to beat Jared Cannonier. Drake previously staked $275,000 on Jorge Masvidal to beat Colby Covington in March but Covington outclassed his bitter rival to spoil the rapper’s potential payday.
Two months later, Drake backed Justin Gaethje to beat Charles Oliveira at UFC 274, staking more than $400,000 on the fight, only for Oliveira to submit his rival in the opening round. On this occasion, he backed betting favourites Pimblett and McCann to register their second London victories in four months as they featured on the main card at The O2 on Saturday.
