Musician Drake lost $1 million after betting on the outcome of a UFC fight.

He bet that Conor McGregor would defeat Max Holloway at UFC 329 which took place on Saturday night.

It was McGregor's first UFC fight in five years. However, early in the first round, he suffered a leg injury that prevented him from continuing the fight, and the referee stopped the fight.

Before the fight, Drake expressed his support for McGregor on social media, but also placed money on his victory.

"MAK is back?!?!?? The man who drinks Proper Twelve, wears tailored suits, drives a Lambo yacht and has a tan from Dubai, and who once held both belts in his hands... Nothing more needs to be said," the rapper wrote.

Due to McGregor's injury, the official result was a victory for Holloway, who achieved the triumph in just 69 seconds.

"I was so ready and sharp for this fight that I can't believe what happened. The stories that I was out of shape when I entered the fight are nonsense. I was calm, prepared and confident. I am in shock about what happened. The devil is literally staring me in the face. I will not engage in it. I will be angry in church. I will get through this. I will not let this stop me. I will be back," McGregor wrote after the fight.

If McGregor had won, Drake would have earned just under three million dollars.
