Justin Getty will have to overcome Charles Oliveira, as well as the curse of musician Drake on Saturday at UFC 274, while bidding for the lightweight title.
Oliveira was stripped of the title on Friday after losing half a pound. Gaethje will win the title with a victory, but if Oliveira wins, the title will be vacant and he will be the number one contender. Oliveira is the favorite for -140 in BetMGM, and Gaethje comes in at +140.
Drake made a huge bet on Gaethje, betting $ 550,000 Canadian on Gaethje to win. The payout is $ 1.375 million if Gaethje succeeds.
However, Drake is not the best at betting, so this is something Getzhi should worry about.
Oliveira-Gaethje is one of two matches for the title on the map, as the rematch for the women’s straw belt between Rose Namayunas and former champion Carla Esparsa, which serves as a co-event.
