Rap superstar Drake has staked over $1.4 million on bets for tonight’s blockbuster UFC 287 card, with his main selection for Israel Adesanya to win by KO vs Alex Pereira.

Long-term rivals Israel Adesanya and Alex Pereira go head-to-head tonight for the UFC middleweight title, currently held by Pereira after defeating ‘The Last Stylebender’ at UFC 281 last November.

Drake has backed the New Zealander to regain the belt he lost via TKO in the fifth round with two different bets, one to win the fight outright and the other by KO.

‘Drizzy’ has also put his money on Jorge Masvidal to beat Gilbert Burns by KO and outright in the co-main event, scheduled to take place shortly before Adesanya vs Pereira.
