Drake Places Huge Bet on Joshua Van to Win UFC 331 Fight, 'I Don't Know Bro...But He Better Win'

Drake is heavily invested in UFC 331, particularly whether or not Joshua Van is able to retain the flyweight championship in the main event.

The rap superstar posted a picture on his Instagram Story of his $650,000 bet on Van to defeat Alexandre Pantoja.

"I Don't Know Bro...But He Better Win," Drake wrote in the caption with the image.

The payout for Drake would be $1,098,000 if Van is able to win.

Drake is no stranger to placing large bets on sporting events. His biggest known wager to date is a $1.5 million bet on Argentina to beat Spain in the 2026 World Cup final.

That one didn't pan out with Spain defeating Argentina 1-0 in extra time.

Van, who is only 24, already has a 17-2 record in his professional MMA career. He has won seven consecutive bouts with three of the last four coming via stoppage.

Pantoja is getting a rematch with Van after their previous bout at UFC 323 ended in the first round due to an elbow dislocation when he was pushed to the ground. He had won eight straight matches prior to the accidental injury.
