It’s another huge payday for UFC betting high roller Drake as he got to bag more than two and a half million in winnings by betting on Israel Adesanya at UFC 287. However, the famous rapper lost half a million when he bet on Jorge Masvidal, who lost to Gilbert Burns.
A good day to win
Breaking the good news on his official Instagram account, Drake a.k.a. “champagnepapi,” shared a screenshot of the proof that he had just won a staggering $1,840,000 for betting on Adesany, who finished Alex Pereira in Round 2 via KO.
On top of that, Drake also gets to cash in an additional $885k of winnings for betting that Izzy will win via KO/TKO. All in all, the rapper pocketed a whopping $2.725M in winnings.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t the case with Drake’s bet on Masvidal as he lost $500k for betting on “Gamebred.”
A good run
Drake did not find any luck in the last time he bet on Adesanya at UFC 281. Pereira stunned Izzy in that title fight resulting in Drake losing $2 million. However, it can be recalled that the award-winning artist previously won a total of $1.7 million in winnings by betting on Jon Jones at UFC 285.
As it stands, Drake seems to have really broken the so-called “Drake Curse,” and is already on a good run in his betting game.
Drake has become a notable figure in the sporting world due to the network he has built over the years. He has had connections in the UFC and is friends with Adesanya personally.
