Paddy Pimblett opens Rolex gifted by Drake as rapper makes good on promise

Paddy Pimblett has been gifted a Rolex watch by Drake for helping earn the Canadian rapper £1.2million. 

‘The Baddy’ and Molly McCann formed a double bet for Drake, who wagered that they would both win at UFC London. 

Pimblett came through in fine style, submitting Jordan Leavitt in the second round of their fight, while ‘Meatball’ produced a sensational TKO of Hannah Goldy thanks to a spinning elbow. 

Paddy Pimblett defeated Jordan Leavitt and helped win Drake £1.2million 

Drake banked £3.1million in total and £1.2m of that was profit on fight night 

In a video shared by the Liverpool fan favourite on social media, Pimblett is given a green box with the Rolex in. 

He said: ‘A what? “A little something from Drake”, came the reply. 

‘Oh, s**t! Oh my… Belter! Thank you very much. Nice one for that Drake. Thank you very much. He said he’d get us a Rolex and he’s got us one.’

Drake wagered a huge Bitcoin stake of £1.9million – £3.1m in total. 

Pimblett remains undefeated in the UFC and is one of the sport’s biggest rising stars

In the aftermath of UFC London, McCann messaged Drake privately and he confirmed he would be sending a Rolex to both fighters. 

Drake is notorious for backing the wrong horse and it seems his winning bet on McCann and Pimblett was an anomaly. 

The musician squandered £236,583 by betting on Jorge Masvidal to beat Colby Covington earlier this year. 

And more recently he lost £172,000 by betting Kamaru Usman would beat Leon Edwards at UFC 278 in Salt Lake City.

Molly McCann was the second half of Drake’s bet and he pledged a Rolex to her too
