Drake Places $450,000 Bet On Israel Adesanya To Beat Dricus Du Plessis In UFC Fight

Canadian rapper, Drake has placed a bet of $450,000 on Israel Adesanya to emerge victorious against Dricus Du Plessis in their upcoming UFC 305 fight.

The highly anticipated UFC 305 middleweight title fight between Dricus Du Plessis and Israel Adesanya on Sunday, August 18, has fans buzzing with excitement and tension.

After Adesanya’s unexpected loss to Sean Strickland at UFC 293 in 2023, which cost him the middleweight title, he took a break from the sport. Now, he’s back and ready to reclaim his title.

The rivalry between Adesanya and Du Plessis has intensified due to Du Plessis’ controversial comments about what it means to be an “African champion” in the UFC.

Adesanya not only faces Du Plessis tomorrow but also the potential impact of the “Drake Curse.”

This phenomenon suggests that athletes or teams Drake supports through bets often end up losing.

On Saturday, Drake posted on Instagram, showing his support for Adesanya by sharing an image of his $450,000 bet on Adesanya to win the UFC 305 title fight.

If Adesanya wins, Drake stands to earn an estimated $855,000.

Drake is known for his high-stakes sports bets, and the “Drake Curse” has become legendary.

He previously lost over half a million pounds when he incorrectly bet on Strickland to defend his title against Du Plessis at UFC 297.

The rapper also lost £430,000 when Adesanya lost to Strickland last year, hoping for a knockout victory.

Now, Drake is hoping for a change in luck as he backs Israel Adesanya once again to defeat Dricus Du Plessis.

KanyiDaily recalls that Drake recently shared a shocking footage of water flooding his $100 million mansion due to heavy rainfall in Canada.
