Popular Canadian performer Drake, known not only for his musical activities, but also for unsuccessful bets on the outcome of sports, bet large sums on the results of the main fights of the UFC 287 tournament, which starts in Miami in a few hours.
In particular, in the main event of the event, which will be a middleweight title rematch between Alex Pereira and Israel Adesanya, the rapper bet $500,000 for the Nigerian to win, and another $400,000 for the ex-UFC champion to win the fight by knockout.
In the second big fight, Drake bet $300,000 on Jorge Masvidal to win and $200,000 on the former street fighter to knock out Gilbert Burns.
If all of Drake’s bets pass, he will receive a total of $5,885,000.
Recall that Adesanya and Masvidal are returning to the octagon after defeats that brought the singer big losses. Drake lost $275,000 in Jorge Masvidal vs. Colby Covington, while Israel Adesanya’s first loss to Alex Pereira cost him $2 million.
Conor McGregor, Jose Aldo, Kamaru Usman, Justin Gaethje, and former WBA, IBF, and WBO heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua have previously fallen victim to the Drake Curse. In addition, the Canadian performer managed to spoil the resumes of some well-known NFL and NBA clubs with his “support”.
