Drake wins a huge amount after betting on Alex Pereira
Alex Pereira justified the odds by beating Jamahal Hill in the first round.

Drake bet a massive $ 675,000 on Alex Periera to win against Hill in the main event of UFC 300. Turns out Pereira made Drake a bit richer. Drake wrote,
Betting on this until somebody sets up a cage match between me and Eddie.
Drake cashed out a massive $1,190,000. He might have placed one of the biggest bets and won. It’s safe to say Drake must be in a jolly mood going into the following week. Alex Pereira showed everyone why he’s a level above every central striker in the octagon. Pereira proved his naysayers wrong in some fashion. He is all set to be one of the biggest stars in the company in the coming months.
Alex Pereira even called out his counterparts in the Heavyweight division as he completed the first title defense of his Light Heavyweight title. He is looking for his next challenge after beating five champions in the UFC in his first eight fights in the company. Pereira is among the few champions to win championship titles in two different divisions in the company. Pereira will be one of MMA’s greatest strikers of all time.
