Prior to the largest UFC event of the year, the world -famous rapper Drake plagued a historical collaboration with the promotion.
The UFC returns to Las Vegas for another international fight week with UFC 317, led by an empty lightweight title fight between Ilia Topuria and Charles Oliveira.
International Fight Week is always considered the largest UFC event of the year, not only because of the Fight Week festivities, but because of the mostly stacked Vechtkaart with which the week culminates.
And for another huge international fighting week, the world-famous Canadian rapper Drake has plagued a historical collaboration with the UFC with a promotional video including Georges St-Pierre.

Drake teases enormous collaboration with the UFC prior to UFC 317
Drake is generally considered one of the most famous artists on the planet and he is a big fan of the UFC.
In anticipation of large fighting, the Canadian rapper usually reports fans of a huge bet he has placed and it has become a current joke in the MMA world that when he bets on a hunter, he gives them the 'Drake Curse'.
Drake won almost $ 500,000 after betting on Alexander Volkanovski to beat Diego Lopes in the UFC 314 Main Event, while Volkanovski broke the notorious curse.
He also bet almost $ 2.5 million on Israel Adesanya to beat Alex Pereira on UFC 287, and after winning his bets he met awkward Pereira.
Hilarious have put Drake's gambling creaks on the radar of Joe Rogan who previously claimed that he wanted to call the rapper to help him break the curse.
In addition to making his name as a rapper, Drake also has his own clothing brand, OVO, and for UFC 317, he has plagued a huge collaboration with the UFC, with GSP.
In a message on Instagram, the OVO account subtitled: “OVO x UFC. With Georges St-Pierre. UFC champion, Canadian Legend. Available in the store and online. 6.27.25 10am et.”
In the past, the UFC has collaborated with the Streetwear brand Anti-Social Social Club in what was a popular collaboration between fans.
Drake still has to place a bet on the UFC 317 Main Event
With fans who anticipate a huge collaboration, they will probably also be nervous to see who Drake has placed his commitment to the main event.
'Do Bronx' Oliveira is currently a large underdog that is the fight against the former featherweight champion, with 'El Matador' that is on a huge -400.
