Drake Places Insane $2.3 Million Bet On UFC London Card

Rap superstar Drake has placed a staggering $2.3 million (£1.9 million) bet on the UFC London card tonight, with the Canadian fancying Scousers Molly McCann and Paddy Pimblett to win.

The pair return to the O2 Arena for the stacked card and will be hoping to replicate their successes inside the Octagon at the same venue back in March, where they both emerged victorious.

And so too will Drake, who has posted his betting slip ahead of the combat sports event.

Drizzy’ has lumped on big for the duo to do the business and will rake in a whopping $3,723,077 (£3,101,401.33) if his bet comes in.

Drake, who is a huge fan of the English culture and brought back the Top Boy series, took to Instagram to share his bet and captioned it, “A scousers parlay.”

Pimblett takes on Jordan Leavitt in the lightweight division, while flyweight McCann is up against Hannah Goldy in the second show at the O2 Arena this year.

They will of course be hoping they don’t feel victim to the “Drake curse” – though that was eventually debunked.

The 35-year-old is a massive MMA fan and regularly puts his money where his mouth is when it comes to the biggest fights.
