Drake Loses $450,000 Bet as Israel Adesanya Falters in UFC Fight
Global superstar Drake has taken another significant hit in the world of sports betting. The Canadian rapper has lost a substantial bet of $450,000 after Israel Adesanya, the middleweight champion he backed, lost to Dricus du Plessis in a recent UFC fight.
Drake had placed the massive wager on Adesanya to reclaim his UFC middleweight belt in the main event. However, the Nigerian-born fighter suffered a shocking defeat by way of choke submission, leaving Drake on the wrong end of a significant loss.
In a surprising twist, if Adesanya had emerged victorious, Drake would have walked away with a hefty sum of $850,000. Unfortunately for the ‘Hotline Bling’ crooner, his luck took a turn for the worse, adding another loss to his already notorious reputation for poor sports betting decisions.
Drake’s past betting mistakes have seen him backing a string of fighters, including Alex Pereira, Nate Diaz, Leon Edwards, and even Francis Ngannou in his bout against Anthony Joshua. It appears his luck hasn’t changed much this time around.
As the music world waits to see what’s next for the rap star, fans can’t help but wonder if he’ll continue to take on sports betting challenges or shift his focus to other ventures. For now, Drake will have to console himself with the knowledge that he’s still a global superstar, despite his misfortune in the world of sports betting.
