Famous Canadian rapper has won himself a whopping of $2.7 million on a bet that Adesanya will defeat Pereira at UFC 287 to regain his championship title.

VerseSports Nigeria reported that Adesanya struck a clean right hook from nowhere, and it stunned Pereira still. The next shot was another right hook to put down Pereira.

Adesanya won back the 185lb title just five months after he lost it to his bitter rival Pereira, who has previously beaten him twice in kickboxing, according to Mirror. 

This Online News Media reports that Drake placed a $500,000 bet on Adesanya to win which returned $885,000 and a $400,000 bet for him to win by knockout, which returned a massive $1.8million, totaling a whopping of $2.7million.
