Rapper Drake won a cool £1 million after he made a large wager on the main event of UFC 300. Pereira successfully defended his light-heavyweight world title in the first round, which lasted just over three minutes.
Ultimately, Alex Pereira defeated Jamahal Hill to keep his light-heavyweight title. Not to be disappointed, Pereira made his first appearance in Vegas since defeating Jiri Prochazka via knockout last November.
