Drake's $650K UFC Bet Pays Off Big
20 Sep
Summary
- Drake bet $650,000 on Joshua Van to win.
- Van successfully defended his flyweight title.
- Drake lost $200,000 on a Jake Paul boxing bet.

Drake, known for his high-stakes sports betting, recently saw mixed results from his wagers. He placed a $650,000 bet on Joshua Van to win his flyweight title defense against Alexandre Pantoja at UFC 331. Van ultimately secured the victory, defending his title and awarding Drake a substantial payout.
This success contrasts with a recent loss. Drake had also bet $200,000 on Jake Paul to defeat Anthony Joshua in a major boxing event in 2025. Paul was knocked out by Joshua, resulting in a significant financial loss for the rapper, though a win would have earned him $1.64 million.
