He sustained a leg injury at the beginning of Round 1, which meant he could not continue. The referee waived the fight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Before the match, Drake took to social media to throw his support &#8211; and his money &#8211; behind the star. &#8220;THE MAC IS BACK?!?!??

The talk of me being off while walking in to the fight is nonsense. I was calm, ready, and confident. I am in shock what has taken place. The devil is literally staring at me right in front of my face here. I am not engaging. I will be at church tomorrow. I will overcome this. I will not be deterred. I will return,&#8221; McGregor wrote afterwards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">If McGregor had won, Drake would have pocketed just under $3 million (\u00a32.14 million).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drake has lost a $1 million bet after putting his money on a UFC fight.The rapper had bet that Conor McGregor would beat Max Holloway at UFC 329 on Saturday.
