Canadian rapper, Drake, has suffered a significant loss after he placed a $450,000 bet on Israel Adesanya.
Israel Adesanya was defeated by Dricus du Plessis in a highly anticipated UFC middleweight match.
Drake had wagered on Adesanya, also known as the ‘Last Stylebender,’ to reclaim his UFC middleweight title in the event’s main fight.
However, things did not go as planned, with Adesanya losing the bout by choke submission to du Plessis.
Had Adesanya emerged victorious, Drake would have walked away with $850,000.
Unfortunately for the rapper, the outcome led to yet another high-profile loss in his long history of sports betting.
Drake has become notorious for his frequent and often ill-fated bets on sporting events.
Over the years, he has placed bets on various fighters, including Alex Pereira, Nate Diaz, Leon Edwards, and even Francis Ngannou during his fight against Anthony Joshua, with mixed results.
Despite these setbacks, Drake continues to be an enthusiastic participant in the world of sports betting, even as his losses pile up.
