MMA’s infamous ‘Drake Curse‘ has struck again.

With UFC 297 emanating from his hometown of Toronto, Canada, it’s no surprise that the Grammy Award winner dropped another massive bet on the night’s biggest fight. Via his social media channels, Drake revealed that he threw down $700k on defending champion Sean Strickland to leave The Great White North with his title intact.

After 25 entertaining minutes of action, Dricus Du Plessis was announced as the winner via split decision, marking another massive loss for Drake. Of course, it hasn’t been all bad for the singer/songwriter. ‘Drizzy’ made a whopping $1.38 million after wagering $1 million on Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis to defeat Ryan Garcia last year. He also scored over $2.7 million in winnings after betting that Adesanya would not only avenge his UFC 281 loss to Pereira but that he would get it done by knockout in their UFC 287 rematch.

However, he lost $500k betting on Israel Adesanya to KO Sean Strickland during their UFC 293 clash in September. Still, by our calculations, Drake is playing with house money.

As for the new UFC middleweight world champion, Dricus Du Plessis has a plethora of options for his first title defense. The likeliest scenario has him squaring off with Israel Adesanya following the pair’s heated face-to-face encounter inside the Octagon in July. Khamzat Chimaev is another possibility, but UFC CEO Dana White seemingly ruled out the notion of an immediate rematch between ‘DDP’ and Strickland even though he felt Strickland did enough to walk away the winner on Saturday night.

Canadian rapper and songwriter, Drake has once more continued in his recent vein of high-profile betting ahead of a massive Octagon landing – this time placing a staggering $700,000 wager on Sean Strickland to beat Dricus du Plessis at UFC 297 tonight – having previously betted against the newly-crowned champion last September.

Drake, who landed a reported payout in excess of $1,000,000 back in December after betting on welterweight champion, Leon Edwards to defeat former interim titleholder, Colby Covington at UFC 296, has turned those winnings into another high-profile wager.

Losing half a million back in September whilst betting on UFC 293, Drake incorrectly predicted a victory for former two-time middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya in Australia, with the above-mentioned, Strickland upsetting the apple cart and the bookmakers with his stunning unanimous decision upset victory.

However, tonight, in his home town, Drake has bet a staggering $700,000 bet on Sean Strickland to beat incoming title challenger, promotional-perfect contender, du Plessis – with a successful flutter set to net the Canadian just shy of $1,400,000 in returns.

Attempting to lodge his first successful defense of the middleweight title tonight in Toronto, Strickland meets Pretoria native, du Plessis – who is riding what many have described as a surprising underdog line ahead of UFC 297.

In the midst of perfect run since his UFC landing back in 2020, last July during International Fight Week, du Plessis turned in a stunning second round TKO win over former undisputed middleweight champion, Robert Whittaker in the pair’s officially billed title-eliminator in Las Vegas, Nevada.

And in a chilling warning at last night’s ceremonial weigh-ins, former EFC and KSW championship winner, du Plessi claimed that Strickland – who called for a death fight with himself at UFC 297, will see his wish granted in ‘The Great White North’.

Who wins at UFC 297 tonight: Sean Strickland or Dricus du Plessis?

Canadian rapper and R&B star, Drake has once more thrown a tonne of money at combat sports betting following his recent venture on Logan Paul to beat Dillon Danis in their boxing match earlier this year – slapping $250,000 on welterweight champion, Leon Edwards to beat Colby Covington at UFC 296 tonight – with a payout exceeding $1,200,000 awaiting him should be bet correctly.

Headlining UFC 296 tonight in Las Vegas, Nevada, Edwards takes on former interim welterweight champion, Covington, attempting to land his second consecutive successful defense of the title in a heated grudge match between the two.

Sidelined since March of this year, Birmingham native, Edwards most recently landed a close, majority decision win over common-foe and former pound-for-pound number one, Kamaru Usman in the pair’s trilogy rubber match.

As for Covington, the outspoken former interim gold holder has yet to feature since he took main event honors against Jorge Masvidal back in March of last year, landing a one-sided unanimous decision win over the Miami native in another grudge match between the two.

And with tension reaching beyond boiling point after Covington mocked the murder of Edwards’ father during this week’s pre-fight press conference, Canadian rap star, Drake has again reached into his deep pockets – splashing a massive $250,000 bet on Edwards to stop Covington via knockout in tonight’s UFC 296 title clash – potentially landing more than $1,200,000 in payout fees.

“Head shot please and thank you @leonedwardsmma,” Drake posted on his official Instagram account, accompanied by a screenshot of his betting slip.

In more recent betting ventures by Drake – which have been labelled as certain curses to fighters, the Canadian slapped down half a million dollars on Israel Adesanya to beat Sean Strickland at UFC 293, with the former going on to lose his championship to the latter in a shutout decision loss.

In August, Drake also placed a quarter of a million dollar wager on Nate Diaz to beat Jake Paul in the UFC alum’s professional boxing debut – which the Stockton veteran would lose in another one-sided decision defeat.
