Israel Adesanya claims the 'Drake curse' is one of four he has broken after the rapper won a $1million bet on his UFC 276 title fight.
Drake has been known for giving fighters and sports teams bad luck after publicly backing them ahead of major events. Most recently, the award-winning recording artist bet six-figure sums on Jorge Masvidal and Justin Gaethje to win their respective title fights, with both going on to lose.
Adesanya was a big favourite heading into his middleweight title defence against Jared Cannonier in Las Vegas, with Drake comfortably winning a $1m wager on the champion. 'The Last Stylebender' has since dismissed the curse whilst citing examples of other MMA curses he has broken.
