Drake is the newest member of Paddy Pymblett and Molly McCann’s fan club.
Ahead of Saturday’s UFC London event, the promotion shared a screenshot of the music superstar’s huge bet, which required Pimblett and McCann to win their respective fights against Jordan Leavitt and Hannah Goldy.
Drake bet over $2 million on a game that ended up earning him just over $3.7 million after Pimblett and McCann finished on the night’s main card.
Shortly after Pimblett’s win, McCann took to Instagram to message Drake asking if he could buy her a Rolex watch, and Drake responded in kind.

“Rollies for the meatball and the bad guy,” Drake wrote. He tagged crypto betting platform Stake, which then reposted the story with the caption “I secured W & the rollie.”
While it’s unlikely anything is set in stone just yet, McCann was excited to talk about the interaction and potential Rolex acquisition on ESPN+’s post-fight show.
The proud Liverpool also celebrated the deal in the evening’s post-match press conference.
“Molly here sent him a video right after and asked for watches, and he said he’d give us a Rolex each,” Pimblett said. “So we swim in it.”
Even if the luxury watches never appeared, Pimblett and McCann were arguably the biggest winners at UFC London. Pimblett improved to 3-0 in the UFC with a second-round submission victory, while McCann needed less than a round to knock out Hannah Goldy and win her third straight fight. Both were awarded a $50,000 performance bonus on the night.
