Canadian rapper and songwriter, Drake has once more continued in his recent vein of high-profile betting ahead of a massive Octagon landing – this time placing a staggering $700,000 wager on Sean Strickland to beat Dricus du Plessis at UFC 297 tonight – having previously betted against the newly-crowned champion last September.
Drake, who landed a reported payout in excess of $1,000,000 back in December after betting on welterweight champion, Leon Edwards to defeat former interim titleholder, Colby Covington at UFC 296, has turned those winnings into another high-profile wager.
Losing half a million back in September whilst betting on UFC 293, Drake incorrectly predicted a victory for former two-time middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya in Australia, with the above-mentioned, Strickland upsetting the apple cart and the bookmakers with his stunning unanimous decision upset victory.
However, tonight, in his home town, Drake has bet a staggering $700,000 bet on Sean Strickland to beat incoming title challenger, promotional-perfect contender, du Plessis – with a successful flutter set to net the Canadian just shy of $1,400,000 in returns.

Attempting to lodge his first successful defense of the middleweight title tonight in Toronto, Strickland meets Pretoria native, du Plessis – who is riding what many have described as a surprising underdog line ahead of UFC 297.
In the midst of perfect run since his UFC landing back in 2020, last July during International Fight Week, du Plessis turned in a stunning second round TKO win over former undisputed middleweight champion, Robert Whittaker in the pair’s officially billed title-eliminator in Las Vegas, Nevada.
And in a chilling warning at last night’s ceremonial weigh-ins, former EFC and KSW championship winner, du Plessi claimed that Strickland – who called for a death fight with himself at UFC 297, will see his wish granted in ‘The Great White North’.
Who wins at UFC 297 tonight: Sean Strickland or Dricus du Plessis?

Canadian rapper and R&B star, Drake has once more thrown a tonne of money at combat sports betting following his recent venture on Logan Paul to beat Dillon Danis in their boxing match earlier this year – slapping $250,000 on welterweight champion, Leon Edwards to beat Colby Covington at UFC 296 tonight – with a payout exceeding $1,200,000 awaiting him should be bet correctly.
Headlining UFC 296 tonight in Las Vegas, Nevada, Edwards takes on former interim welterweight champion, Covington, attempting to land his second consecutive successful defense of the title in a heated grudge match between the two.
Sidelined since March of this year, Birmingham native, Edwards most recently landed a close, majority decision win over common-foe and former pound-for-pound number one, Kamaru Usman in the pair’s trilogy rubber match.
As for Covington, the outspoken former interim gold holder has yet to feature since he took main event honors against Jorge Masvidal back in March of last year, landing a one-sided unanimous decision win over the Miami native in another grudge match between the two.
And with tension reaching beyond boiling point after Covington mocked the murder of Edwards’ father during this week’s pre-fight press conference, Canadian rap star, Drake has again reached into his deep pockets – splashing a massive $250,000 bet on Edwards to stop Covington via knockout in tonight’s UFC 296 title clash – potentially landing more than $1,200,000 in payout fees.
“Head shot please and thank you @leonedwardsmma,” Drake posted on his official Instagram account, accompanied by a screenshot of his betting slip.
In more recent betting ventures by Drake – which have been labelled as certain curses to fighters, the Canadian slapped down half a million dollars on Israel Adesanya to beat Sean Strickland at UFC 293, with the former going on to lose his championship to the latter in a shutout decision loss.
In August, Drake also placed a quarter of a million dollar wager on Nate Diaz to beat Jake Paul in the UFC alum’s professional boxing debut – which the Stockton veteran would lose in another one-sided decision defeat.

The fight world is just 24 hours away from Logan Paul Vs. Dillon Danis – many thought that it would not even get this close. The build up has been wild and at times odd. The pair share a clear mutual dislike for one another and the pair have both take things beyond just personal, but the build-up has managed to reach a more mainstream audience.
With the fight, and in particular Danis’ social media attacks on Paul and is fiancé, it has become a talking point in pop culture. So much so music sensation Drake has placed another large wager on it. The Canadian placed a bet of $850,000 on Paul to win by knockout, a win would pay out $1,351,500
Drake is a notorious gambler who enjoys staking large sums of money on both casino games and sports, including the UFC and boxing. Drake’s gambling habits are the stuff of legends – it was reported last year that in the space of just two months, he had wagered cryptocurrency that was worth over $1 billion.
Conor McGregor will reportedly be ringside for tomorrow’s action – the Irishman and Danis share a friendship through their time spent training together after McGregor enlisted the American for his BJJ expertise.
Responding to an Instagram post which showed Drake’s bet, insistent that the musician had made a mistake.
“Never bet against personal vendetta and settling scores,” Drake said.
Danis and Paul will fight on October 14 in the co-main slot of the Prime card, the event will be held in London, England. the main event fight will be between Tommy Fury and KSI
Do you agree with Conor McGregor, or did Drake make a safe bet?
Canadian rapper, Drake is certainly taking a keen interest in wagering on combat sports events in the last year – and has once more landed an eye-watering bet, this time on his this weekend’s Misfits boxing clash between arch-rivals, Logan Paul, and Dillon Danis.

Canadian rapper, Drake is certainly taking a keen interest in wagering on combat sports events in the last year – and has once more landed an eye-watering bet, this time on his this weekend’s Misfits boxing clash between arch-rivals, Logan Paul, and Dillon Danis.
Slated to co-headline a Misfits promoted boxing event in Manchester, England this weekend, professional wrestling star and podcast host, Paul takes on Bellator MMA welterweight and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner, Danis in a professional boxing match.
And later that evening in the UK, professional boxer, Tommy Fury – the half-brother of current undisputed WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, takes on Paul’s business partner and fellow YouTuber and R&B star, KSI in a main event professional clash.
Parting with half a millon dollars just last month ahead of UFC 293 – Drake was left kissing his teeth after seeing his $500,000 wager on former two-time undisputed middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya, ultimately fail.
Betting on the City Kickboxing staple to successfully defend his middleweight title at the beginning of his second title reign – Drake watched on as Adesanya suffered a one-sided unanimous decision loss to the newly-crowned, Sean Strickland, with the latter turning one of the biggest upset victories in title fight history.
This weekend, Ohio native, Paul will be backed to the tune of $850,000 to defeat Danis by way of KO – which would see Drake returned a cool $1,351,500.
Reacting to news of Drake’s wager on Paul to defeat him, 2-0 professional mixed martial artist, Danis claimed he was disrespected by the apparent “low” money bet placed against him.
“850 on my head is disrespect,” Dillon Danis posted on his official X account.
Yesterday, Danis’ fight with Paul was thrown into certain jeopardy after the pair’s heated pre-fight press conference, after Danis struck the former in the face with a microphone, resulting in a laceration, with Paul gushing blood as he was escorted off stage.
However, following official weigh-ins this morning in Manchester, Logan is steadfast in his claim that he will be standing opposite New Jersey native Danis tomorrow night, as the pair’s drawn-out grudge-match ramps up to a conclusion.
Who wins this weekend: Logan Paul or Dillon Danis?
