Summary

  • $1 million is riding on Conor McGregor for Drake, who posted an Instagram betting slip showing a potential $2.85 million return if McGregor beats Max Holloway at UFC 329 in Las Vegas.
  • McGregor enters Saturday's rematch for his first UFC fight in nearly five years after breaking his leg in a 2021 loss to Dustin Poirier; Holloway is trying to rebound from a March defeat to Charles Oliveira.
  • Both fighters made weight Friday ahead of the main card at T-Mobile Arena, clearing the final hurdle before the bout.
  • Drake's public betting record is mixed: he recently won on Canada at the 2026 World Cup, but previously posted big NHL losses including $500,000 on the Oilers and $1 million on the Maple Leafs.
