Drake gained almost £3MILLION by betting on Molly McCann and Paddy Pimblett to win their battles at UFC London.

The 35-year-old Canadian rapper wagered just over £1.9 million on the Scouse combo to win the octagon.

Drake, a Toronto native who recently returned from a lavish vacation in St. Tropez, is no stranger to high-stakes betting, particularly on UFC.

He bet $1 million (£833k) on Israel Adesanya to defeat Jared Cannonier at UFC 276 in Las Vegas earlier this month.

Adesanya won the fight, and the victories of Pimblett and McCann indicate that the infamous ‘Drake Curse’ may be over.

Drizzy has a history of openly supporting athletes only to see them lose in their next appearance.

It happened to Justin Gaethje when Drake bet £346k on him to defeat Charles Oliveira in May, and he lost.

Jorge Masvidal was similarly affected by it in March when Drake put $275k (£229k) on him to win his grudge battle.

He mentioned crypto betting platform Stake in his photo of his betting slip, captioning it “A scousers parlay.”

Drake promised to buy Rolex watches for both Pimblett and McCann in a different tale.

After helping him win his wager, the musician plans to give the duo a new watch with his earnings.

“Rollies for Meatball and the Baddy,” Drake said on his Twitter account.
