Canadian rapper Drake was one of the biggest winners following Israel Adesanya’s stunning victory over Alex Pereira on Sunday.
Drake’s love for the UFC and his unwavering support for Israel Adesanya is well documented.
The rap star won an estimated $2.7 million after placing two bets on the Israel Adesanya to reclaim his title via KO from the Brazilian at UFC 287 on Sunday morning (local-time).
The award-winning rapper was relieved as he was able to recover the funds he lost when Pereira defeated Adesanya last November.
Drake had lost $1.6 million after tipping Adesanya to win last November, and the Nigerian was seconds away from doing so before Pereira caught him with a right hook and the fight was stopped.
