Rap superstar Drake's run of bad luck gambling on the UFC came to and end after he won a $1million bet on Israel Adesanya's UFC middleweight title defence against Jared Cannonier.
The multi-platinum recording artist has an infamous 'Drake curse' where fighters and other top athletes lose major events after he shows his support. And his luck has been particularly bad for MMA fighters, posing with Conor McGregor before his fight against Floyd Mayweather as well as losing a number of big money bets this year.
He first put $275,000 on Jorge Masvidal despite his underdog odds against Colby Covington in March. The former world title contender was comfortably beaten by unanimous decision, but it didn't stop Drake from doubling down and putting $550,000 on Justin Gaethje to beat Charles Oliveira two months later, which also saw him lose big money.
