Drake, the Canadian rapper, has won a staggering £1.4 million after betting on Jon Jones to beat Ciryl Gane at UFC 285. Despite the curse of the rapper, Jones was able to overcome Gane in a five-round battle to retain his light heavyweight title.
The curse of Drake has been well documented in the past, with the rapper having a long history of betting on fighters who have gone on to lose. This time, however, Drake was able to break the curse and come out on top.
The fight between Jones and Gane was a closely contested affair, with both fighters trading blows throughout the five rounds. Jones was able to edge out Gane in the end, winning by unanimous decision.
Drake was clearly delighted with the result, taking to social media to celebrate his win. He posted a picture of himself with a stack of cash, with the caption “Money in the bank”.
Despite his win, Drake still lost a staggering bet at UFC 285. He had bet on the fight between Israel Adesanya and Jan Blachowicz, which Adesanya won by unanimous decision. Drake had bet on Blachowicz to win, and as a result, he lost a huge amount of money.
Despite the loss, Drake was still able to come out on top overall. His win on Jones was enough to offset the loss on Adesanya, and he was able to walk away with a tidy profit.
Drake’s win is a testament to his ability to pick winners, despite the curse that has followed him in the past. He was able to break the curse and come out on top, and it is a testament to his skill as a gambler.
It remains to be seen if Drake will be able to continue his winning streak, but for now, he can enjoy his winnings and bask in the glory of his victory.
