Tonight at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, USA, the much-anticipated UFC 300 anniversary tournament will take place.

Fans of mixed martial arts can expect a multitude of exciting matchups, including two title fights. However, the main event will undoubtedly be the clash between UFC light heavyweight champion, Brazilian Alex Pereira, and American Jamal Hill.

For Pereira, this will mark his first fight and consequently his first title defense since winning the belt in November. Hill previously held the title last year but relinquished it due to an Achilles tendon rupture sustained during a basketball game.

Such an event could not escape the attention of many well-known personalities. Musician Drake, renowned for his substantial wagers on UFC tournaments, has also offered his prediction and shared it on social media.

A Grammy award winner, Drake placed $675,000 on Pereira's victory at odds of 1.77. The potential profit for Drake could could receive almost $1.2 million.

Drake is known for his large bets on various fights. Recently, he wagered $615,000 on Francis Ngannou to win a boxing match against Anthony Joshua. However, the British boxer knocked Ngannou down twice before ultimately defeating him by knockout.

Previously, the musician boasted about his bet on Sean Strickland in a fight against Dricus du Plessis, but the former UFC middleweight champion lost and conceded his belt to his South African opponent.

Even earlier, Drake placed a massive $1.2 million bet on YouTuber Jake Paul to win by knockout against Tommy Fury, but he lost his money on that occasion too.

According to bookmakers, both athletes have fairly equal chances of winning. However, there is slightly more belief in the current champion, with odds of around 1.7 for his victory, while odds of 2.11 are given for the American's victory.
