The fan-favorite British MMA fighter Paddy Pimblett joined the Conor McGregor 19-3 club with his stunning victory over Jordan Leavitt in this year’s second UFC Fight Night event in London. Additionally, Pimblett’s win also helped the famous Canadian rapper Drake rack up millions in his bank account.

Many already compare the British fighter Pimblett’s UFC rise to that of the former two-division champion Conor McGregor. Interestingly, the comparison looks more logical now after The Baddy reached a similar record as The Notorious in his MMA career.

Apparently, Pimblett’s third straight UFC victory was his 19th win in his professional MMA career. Co-incidentally the Irish UFC star himself had the same stat line (19-3) once after he lost his first UFC loss against Nate Diaz in a welterweight contest.

Furthermore, the British fighter’s win also turned out highly rewarding for the millionaire rapper Drake. The Canadian backed the 27-year-old for a win in his third UFC bout.

Besides Pimblett’s lightweight showdown, Drake also profited from the female flyweight bout between Molly McCann and Hannah Goldy. ‘Meatball’ also defeated her opponent in the very first round of the fight. It seemed like Drake had his best luck today as both Pimblett and McCann won their respective fights with flying colors.
