Drake has a knack for betting on UFC fights and picking the wrong winner, which is why Joshua Van fans are shaking in their boots right now ahead of tonight’s (Sat., Sept. 19, 2026) UFC 331 main event LIVE on Paramount+ from inside Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California.
Van, who defends his 125-pound title in a rematch against former UFC flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja, is a slight betting favorite according to current pre-fight odds. Of course, those lines could change in the lead-up to tonight’s
UFC 331 card on Paramount+, but many believe Van’s youth, speed, durability, and elite striking will be too much for Pantoja to handle. Drake has officially joined that bandwagon as well.
While Drake isn’t overly familiar with Van the rap mogul is still slapping a cool $650,000 on “Fearless” to ward off Pantoja in the rematch and walk away with his UFC flyweight strap. If victorious, Drake stands to win just north of $1 million. It’s not the biggest payout Drake has ever concocted, but it’d be one hell of a win nonetheless.
Check out Drake’s official bet slip below and let us know who you’re riding with tonight at UFC 331!
“I don’t know bro… but he better win,” wrote Drake.
