Drake Bets Big on Israel Adesanya in UFC 305 Title Fight Against Du Plessis

Drake gained notoriety after he wagered a massive $450,000 on Israel Adesanya to win UFC 305 vs Dricus Du Plessis. Drake’s bet shows his faith in Adesanya, who is attempting to win back the middleweight championship after losing it in an unexpected shock at UFC 293 in 2023 to Sean Strickland. If Adesanya wins, the rapper’s wager might come with a payoff of almost $855,000.

The fight has attracted a lot of interest because of the ongoing story about the “Drake Curse,” in addition to the fight’s high stakes. This pattern implies that the athletes Drake backs frequently suffer unanticipated defeats, raising questions about whether his support might have a detrimental effect on the result. According to reports, Drake has lost about $7 million on several bets.

The competition between Du Plessis and Adesanya has grown, particularly after their acrimonious pre-fight confrontations.

In addition to being a title challenge, the fight is also a personal conflict because of Du Plessis’s earlier comments about African representation in the UFC, which have heightened tensions. Fans and experts alike are excited to witness if Adesanya can defeat his opponent and the “Drake Curse” as the battle draws near.
