Drake bet $700,000 on Strickland vs. Du Plessis

Famous rapper Drake made a huge bet on the main fight of the upcoming UFC 297 tournament, in which the promotion's middleweight champion Sean Strickland will defend the title from attacks Dricus Du Plessis.

On the eve of their meeting in Drake's hometown of Toronto, Canada, the musician placed a $700,000 bet on Strickland to win. If successful, his winnings will be $1,379,000.

It is worth noting that Drake is known in the sports world for his unsuccessful predictions - quite often those on whom he bet a large amount lost.
