American Rap King, Drake is once again placing his dreaded curse on Israel Adesanya ahead of UFC 305 early Sunday at 2 am CAT, from inside RAC Arena in Perth, Australia, as the millionaire rapper has wagered $450,000 on “Last Stylebender” Israel Adesanya to defeat UFC middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis in the main event.
Reports have it that Drake likes to throw some big cash at some of UFC’s most high-profile matchups. The popular hip-hop artist has backed fighters such as Alex Pereira, Nate Diaz, Leon Edwards, and even Francis Ngannou when he fought Anthony Joshua, but one of Drake’s favourite picks is Adesanya.
Coming into this weekend, Drake is once again putting his money on Adesanya to win in the main event. This time around, Drake is betting $450,000 that “Last Stylebender” leaves UFC 305 with the middleweight title. The official payout is just north of $850,000, which isn’t as big as previous wagers but still a great way to close out the weekend.
