Drake is the newest member of the Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann fan club.
The promotion posted a screenshot of the huge wager made by the UFC London promoter. It required McCann and Pimblett to win against Jordan Leavitt, Hannah Goldy.

Drake put over $2 million on a parlay that ended up winning him just over $3. 7 million after Pimblett and McCann both scored finishes on the evening’s main card.
Shortly after Pimblett won, McCann used Instagram to message Drake asking him if he could buy a Rolex watch. Drake replied in the same way.

“Rollies for Meatball and the Baddy,” Drake wrote. He tagged crypto betting platform Stake, who then re-posted the story with the caption, “Secured the W & the rollie.”
McCann spoke enthusiastically about McCann’s interaction with Rolex and possible acquisition of Rolex on ESPN+ after-fight.

The proud Liverpudlians also celebrated the deal at the evening’s post-fight press conference.
“Molly over here sends him a video right after and asked for watches and he said he’s going to give us both a Rolex,” Pimblett said. “So we’re swimming in it.”
Even if the luxury watches never come, Pimblett and McCann were unquestionably the biggest winners of UFC London. Pimblett improved to 3-0 in the UFC with a second-round submission win, while McCann needed less than a round to put away Hannah Goldy and win her third straight fight. Both were awarded with a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus.
