Adesanya falls to Du Plessis in UFC 305 after Drake’s $450K Bet

Canadian rapper Drake found himself on the losing side once more after betting on Israel Adesanya to defeat Dricus du Plessis in the UFC 305 main event.

Drake wagered $450,000 on “The Last Stylebender” Israel Adesanya to secure a victory over UFC middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis. However, the fight did not go as planned, with Adesanya losing by choke submission, dashing Drake’s hopes of walking away with $850,000.

This isn’t the first time Drake has lost a bet on Adesanya. In their first UFC fight, Drake reportedly staked CA$2,000,000 (approximately N600 million at the time) on Adesanya to defeat Alex Pereira, expecting a return of CA$2,900,000. Unfortunately, Adesanya was knocked out just minutes before the end of the contest.

Drake did experience a win when he placed a $400,000 bet on Adesanya to knock out Pereira in their rematch, but his losing streak continues with this latest gamble.

The ‘Hotline Bling’ artist has earned a reputation for his frequent losses in sports betting, further fueling the so-called “Drake Curse.”
