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.
