Drake has offered Molly McCann and Paddy Pimblett (aka, Meatball Molly and Paddy The Baddy) a reward for winning their UFC fights in London on Saturday night.
The Canadian rapper, who bagged £3.1million after placing bets on the Liverpool fighters, has agreed to buy them a Rolex watch each.
McCann shared a video on Instagram after the pair beat their opponents, saying: “Drake we have just broken your curse lad. Can I have a Rolex please?”

Pimblett then appeared on the video, adding: “Champagne Papi come on what are we getting for that?”
Fans have been reacting to the news on Twitter.
One wrote: “If Drake doesn’t buy Meatball Molly the Rolex she wants I’m not gonna be happy with him.”
Another added: “Kid off Huyton and a girl raised in Norris Green getting Rolex’s bought for them from Drake. They’ve smashed it haven’t they.”
It was an emotional night for Pimblett who revealed during his winning speech that he lost a close friend to suicide days before his fight.

He told the O2 Arena: “I woke up on Friday morning at 4am to a message that one my friends back home had killed themselves. This was five hours before my weigh-in.
“So Ricky lad, that’s for you. There’s a stigma in this world that men can’t talk.
“Listen, if you’re a man and you’ve got weight on your shoulders and you think the only way you can solve it is by killing yourself, please speak to someone. Speak to anyone.
“People would rather… I know I would rather have my mate cry on my shoulder than go to his funeral next week. So please, let’s get rid of this stigma. Men start talking.”
