Drake ‘curse’ strikes again as rapper loses £1.4 MILLION on bet after backing Adesanya to beat Pereira at UFC 281

DRAKE’S nightmare ‘curse’ struck once again as he lost £1.4MILLION at UFC 281.

The Canadian rapper, 36, has a torrid record with gambling and has lost huge amounts of money with bets failing to come in.

And his rotten streak continued at the weekend.

According to TMZ, Drake wagered £1.4m on Israel Adesanya to defend his UFC middleweight world title against Alex Pereira.

Brazilian Pereira rallied in the fifth and final round to score a sensational TKO victory, a stoppage the former champion initially protested.

Legendary MMA coach Firas Zahabi believes Adesanya would have received potentially career-changing damage had referee Marc Goddard not called a halt to proceedings.

And that decision by Goddard also confirmed Drake’s painful loss.

Saturday’s flop followed big-money bets on Kamaru Usman, Jose Aldo, Jorge Masvidal, Conor McGregor and Charles Oliveira which all came back to haunt the artist.

And his struggles are not just limited to UFC, either.

Last month, Barcelona’s defeat in El Clasico cost him £500,000 while Anthony Joshua, Serena Williams and Charles Leclerc are also considered Drake ‘victims’.

However, Drake did win big at UFC London in October.

Victories for Molly McCann and Paddy Pimblett secured the One Dance singer a staggering £3m purse.

And the Grammy award-winning recording artist vowed to buy Rolex watches for both Pimblett and McCann as a token of his appreciation.
