HERE WE GET BACK! The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returns to the O2 Arena in London, England on Saturday, July 23, 2022, for the second time this calendar year with a pivotal heavyweight showdown between British standout Tom Aspinall (No. 6) , punching his ticket to a future title fight at the expense of perennial division contender Curtis Blaydes (#4). In the UFC London co-main event, Jack Hermansson takes on Chris Curtis (not Darren Till), while local fan favorites Paddy Pimblett, Molly McCann and Alexander Gustafsson, among others, they also see action inside the Octagon.
Don’t miss a second of head-on action!
This time, the millionaire rapper is riding the Scouser train and betting loads of cash on English wrestlers Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann. Pimblett will compete in a lightweight matchup against grappler Jordan Leavitt while “Meatball” takes on Hannah Goldy in the women’s flyweight division. Both will appear on the main card of UFC London.
In a post shared by the UFC (shown below), Drake reveals that he has used Pimblett and McCann to win their respective matches. Money doesn’t seem to be a problem for the Canadian celebrity as he threw in a whopping $2,296,211.30 to walk away with $3,723,077. Not too shabby for a Saturday afternoon parlay.
While Drake hasn’t had the best of luck in the past with UFC betting, today he’s putting his money on the favorites at UFC London. Pimblett and McCann also won their last fights at the previous UFC event in London last March. “Baddy” defeated Rodrigo Vargas via first round submission, while McCann scored a monster back elbow knockout on Luana Carolina.
What do you think, fight the fans? Is Drake biting off more than he can chew or is it easy money?
