Drake and Conor McGregor have serious money on the biggest battle of UFC 314.
Ahead of Saturday’s pay-per-view event in Miami, celebrities worked with their respective gambling sponsors to share some large bets.
Drake announced in his Instagram story that he is laying a cool $545,000 on his favourite Alexander Volkanovsky to beat Diego Lopez in the main event and become the UFC featherweight champion again.

If Volkanovski wins, he will help the Canadian rap star pay $915,000.
It would be a much needed victory for Volkanovski, who has escaped from a brutal knockout loss in his last two championship matches against Ilia Topuria and lightweight champion Islam Makhachev. The 36-year-old appears to be the first fighter to win an incontroversial UFC title that emerges from consecutive losses.
Lopez has won five consecutive fights since dropping a short-term decision to undefeated featherweight contender Movsar Evloev.
McGregor is also taking part in the action. He shared the video on Twitter, betting $500,000 on longtime rival Michael Chandler to show that he would not only defeat Paddy Pimblett in Saturday’s co-main event, but also defeat “Baddy” via knockout.
A three-time Bellator Lightweight Champion, Chandler is a loser taking part in a duel with Pimblett. The pinblet is 6-0 within the octagon.
