The infamous Drake curse has made a comeback, and the losses are piling up for the Canadian rapper.
On Saturday night, Drake disclosed that he had placed a $700k bet on Sean Strickland to emerge victorious against Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 297.
Regrettably for the pop star, Strickland ended up losing in a controversial split decision to Du Plessis.

The decision was so contentious that even UFC CEO Dana White believed Strickland should have been declared the winner.
“I had it 2 to 2, going into the last round, and I thought Strickland won the last round. Guys sitting at the same table had it the other way, and you know it was a close fight. I thought Strickland looked great in the first two rounds…he slowed down in the third and fourth, Du Plessis kept coming forward, and I had it even going into the fifth round…it was just one of those type fights, but I’m also one of those guys that thinks you need to take it from the champion.”
Even Joe Rogan expressed his disbelief at the decision during his livestream.
As Du Plessis exited the cage, the arena DJ amusingly played Drake’s “God’s Plan” in the background.
Perhaps it’s time for Drake to reconsider betting on UFC matches.
