Drake Wins £3million Bet After Staking £1.9m On Liverpool Duo Paddy Pimblett And Molly McCann To Win At UFC London
Popular Canadian rapper/singer, Drake, has won a huge sum of £3m on Saturday night after betting big on Scouse duo Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann at UFC London.
Pimblett and McCann both won their respective fights on a raucous evening at the O2 with the Scousers fast becoming one of the most exciting double-acts in sport.
Posting a grab of his bet on Instagram, a crypto casino and betting platform, Drake placed a stake of £1.9m on the Liverpool duo to win their respective fights in London.
With McCann fulfilling her side of the bargain with a stunning victory Hannah Goldy via an elbow-spinning knockout, Pimblett then secured the enormous win for the rapper by defeating Jordan Leavitt via submission.
Drake captioned the grab of his bet slip on Instagram a Scousers parlay, in reference to the city in which Pimblett and McCann are both natives.
Having won the enormous bet, it would have been uncouth of Drake not to acknowledge the two parties key to him taking home the £3m jackpot. Indeed, Drake promised to buy the two fighters a Rolex each for their respective parts in his win.
Drake is a known high-stakes gambler in sports, with the rapper having placed a number of high-profile bets. It was only recently, however, where the infamous ‘Drake curse’ appeared to be lifted.
