‘Drake curse’ strikes again as Israel Adesanya loses to Du Plessis in UFC 305

After wagering on Israel Adesanya to defeat Dricus du Plessis, Canadian musician Drake is once again losing.

Drake put $450,000 on Israel Adesanya, dubbed the “Last Stylebender,” to win the main event against UFC middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis. However, the Nigerian was successfully submitted via chokehold.

In the event that Adesanya prevailed in the bout, Drake was supposed to get $850,000.

This is not the first Drake is losing a bet placed on Adesanya. During Adesanya’s first UFC fight with Alex Pereira, Drake, according to reports, staked CA$2,000,000 , an equivalent of N600 million then, on the Nigerian mixed martial artist hoping to get a win of CA$2,900,000, but it didn’t go as he expected as Adesanya was knocked out few minutes to the end of the contest.

He, however, won when he placed a $400,000 bet on Adesanya to knock out Pereira in the rematch.

The ‘Hotline Bling’ singer has gained notoriety for losing sport bettings.
