UFC star Paddy Pimblett hails Drake as musician fulfils promise to send Rolex watch

Paddy Pimblett was thrilled as he received a Rolex watch from Drake.

The Canadian rapper vowed to send a luxury gift to Pimblett and Molly McCann after they both won their bouts at UFC London in July. The 27-year-old continued his unbeaten UFC streak when he recorded a second round submission victory over Jordan Leavitt.

McCann also emerged triumphant as she produced a stunning stoppage victory over Hannah Goldy. Drake won around £3m after he placed a £1.9m double bet on the Scouse pair, which prompted "Meatball Molly" to issue a hilarious request on Instagram.

The UFC star, known as Paddy the Baddy, has taken to Instagram tonight to issue a tribute to Drake after he pulled through on his promise. Pimblett shared a short clip with his 1.9m followers as he was presented with the watch.

He said: "Nice one for that Drake. Thank you very much. He said he'd get us a Rolex and he's got us one."
