Canadian rapper, Drake, gained a victory of $ 2.7 million after Israel Adesanya knocked out Alex Pereira at UFC 287 to reclaim the middleweight crown, the Mirror reports.
The Nigerian-born New Zealander won around the 185lb title just five months after he forfeited it to his bitter competitor Pereira, who has earlier beaten him twice in kickboxing.
Drake misplaced $ 1.6 million after seconding Adesanya to defeat that fight but he made amends for the rapper in his rematch with Pereira. ‘Drizzy Drake’ placed a $500,000 bet on Adesanya to win which yielded $885,000 and a $400,000 bet for him to win by knockout, which returned a massive $ 1.8 million.
‘Stylebender’ was questioned about Drake’s bet after his fight, to which he declared: “Shoutout to everyone that bet on me but you have to realize that when I step into the octagon I put my life on the line. That’s the biggest parlay you can ever do. I’m a betting man too so shoutout to stake, we are about to make another deal and get more money.”
