- Drake is back at it, betting on UFC 305.
Canadian rapper Drake has made headlines once again by placing a substantial $450,000 wager on Israel Adesanya to defeat Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 305 in Perth, Australia. This fight, which is set to determine the UFC middleweight champion, is highly anticipated and currently regarded as a pick-em, indicating a closely matched contest. Adesanya, a favorite of Drake's, aims to reclaim the title for the third time. Drake's betting history with Adesanya has been a rollercoaster, with both wins and losses. Earlier this year, he successfully backed Adesanya in a fight against Jared Cannonier. However, the rapper has also faced significant losses in the UFC betting arena, including a $427,000 defeat when he wagered on Justin Gaethje against Charles Oliveira at UFC 274 in May 2022. The rapper's penchant for high-stakes betting is well-documented, with a notable $2.3 million parlay bet on fighters Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann at UFC London in July 2022. Despite the risks, Drake continues to engage in substantial wagers, showcasing a lifestyle that sets him apart from the average bettor. As the main card of UFC 305 approaches, fans and bettors alike are eager to see if Drake's latest gamble will pay off, further adding to the excitement surrounding the event. The pay-per-view portion of the fight card is scheduled to begin at 10 p.m. ET.
