Canadian rapper Drake has lost a substantial bet of $450,000 after Israel Adesanya was defeated by Driscus Du-Plessis in the main event at UFC 305. Drake had placed the bet on Adesanya, known in the fighting world as the ‘Last Stylebender,’ to reclaim his UFC middleweight title.
The fight took a dramatic turn in the fourth round. Adesanya, a former two-time champion, was desperate to regain his belt after losing it to Sean Strickland last September. Despite leading on the scorecards with a 2-1 advantage, Adesanya could not withstand the powerful onslaught from Du-Plessis. The South African fighter turned the tide with several powerful hooks and jabs, ultimately securing a decisive takedown. Once Du-Plessis locked Adesanya into a choke, the Nigerian-born fighter had no choice but to submit, ending the bout.
Drake’s bet would have earned him $850,000 had Adesanya won. Unfortunately for the rapper, this loss adds to his notorious track record of unsuccessful sports bets. Drake, known for hits like ‘Hotline Bling,’ has made headlines several times for his high-stakes wagers on various sporting events, often with unfavorable outcomes.
This latest betting mishap highlights Drake’s ongoing streak of bad luck in the world of sports gambling, underscoring the unpredictable nature of betting on high-stakes events like UFC matches.
