Whether it’s due to a passion for the sport or because Stake is the official partner in Asia and Latin America, Drake has funneled millions of dollars into wagering on the UFC.
Unfortunately, passion alone doesn’t win bets.
In March 2022, the Canadian star missed a $1.03 million payout after betting $275,000 that Jorge Masvidal would defeat Colby Covington.
The rapper lost another $1 million payout in May of the same year when he wagered $427,000 on Justin Gaethje to beat Charles Oliveira.
Things took a turn for the better on July 1, and it seemed the curse was momentarily lifted.
After a successful $136,000 wager on fellow Stake ambassador Israel Adesanya, Drake pocketed $897,000.
