Colby Covington mocked the rap/pop superstar Drake for betting a quarter of a million dollars on Jorge ‘Gamebred’ Masvidal at UFC 272.

Drake is known for being a complete mush when it comes to sports betting. He is notorious for siding with the losing squad, and the “Drake curse” became a real thing after he backed multiple losers in a row.

Masvidal isn’t the first UFC fighter that he has “jinxed”. Drake also backed Conor McGregor at UFC 229 when he fought against Khabib Nurmagomedov for the lightweight championship. Drake walked out with Conor McGregor sporting the Irish flag at the weigh-in of that fight.

Colby Covington had a laugh at Drake’s expense last night at the post-fight press conference

Covington made easy work of Masvidal at UFC 272, as he won by unanimous decision while barely losing a round. Masvidal only had a few instances where he held the upper hand, but could never capitalize. Those instances came few and far between as well. Covington’s pace and relentlessness was too much for Masvidal in the end.

“Let’s talk about all the money Drake lost tonight,” Covington said. “He needs to go back to selling those s—ty albums to make back the money. He should have went to America’s Pick of the Week by my bookie. I tried to give the people the pick of the week. I was America’s champ and I was America’s pick of the week. Drake, you suck at sports betting. Go back to your s—ty little albums and rapping.” (H/T MMAMania)

Masvidal wants to treat Drake to dinner when he is in Miami after losing the match and losing Drake all that money as well.

Covington was a heavy favorite in the match and any betting man would have advised against putting that amount of money on Masvidal, who has struggled against wrestlers mostly in his career (with the exception of Ben Askren). It’s safe to say Drake was upset after Masvidal lost.

Adonis Lattimore, born without his right leg and with a partial left leg, has scored the Class 6 Virginia Beach State Wrestling Championship in his native Virginia.

“I’ve been dreaming of this since I knew what it was, and to finally have it happen is just – I don’t know how to explain it. Really, if you won hard, you can do anything – even win a state championship without legs,” Adonis Lattimore told The Virginian Pilot

32-7 as a wrestler at Landstown High School in Virginia Beach, Virginia, Lattimore managed to secure his first state wrestling championship win with last weekend’s success. 

Lattimore, 17, explained during an interview with WAVY 10 that his victory in the state wrestling championship was just a “blur” for him, before revealing he had the goal of winning the state title for six years during an interview with ABC 7 News after his state championship win. 

“(It’s) pretty motivating just to prove them wrong,” Adonis Lattimore said. “And just to prove to myself that I can do anything I set out to do.” (Transcribed by Bloody Elbow)

Lattimore’s appearance in the state wrestling championship final came against the Korian Tran of Lake Braddock High School, beating his opponent with a score of 5-1 in the state final.

Former UFC bantamweight champion Miesha Tate has won Celebrity Big Brother. The competition included the likes of Lamar Odom, Chris Kattan and Shanna Moakler amongst many other guests. The participants would live in the same house for three weeks to compete in challenges before beginning to vote each other out.

Miesha Tate started out strong in the competition, winning the first challenge and putting her in a position to place two people up for eviction. Throughout the competition, Tate looked like one of the stronger members so it was no surprise when she won in the final via a vote of 7-1 to claim the $250,000 prize.

Miesha Tate Vs. Lauren Murphy.

Despite taking time away for the show, Tate is still as focused as ever on her MMA, and she will need to be given her next challenge comes in the form of Lauren Murphy in May.

Tate returned to the sport after being away for five years to TKO Marion Reneau in her return fight. She would then go on to lose a decision to Ketlen Viera before making the decision to change weight classes.

‘Cupcake’ had success in her current weight class, following her failed first attempt at securing the bantamweight title Tate would acquire a four-fight winning streak to earn herself another shot. Late in the 5th round, Tate sank in a rear-naked choke which would force the champion at the time Holly Holm to tap.

Her opponent currently sits at #3 in the flyweight rankings and will be looking to bounce back from her TKO loss to division champion Valentina Shevchenko at UFC 266. Prior to that loss, Murphy had accumulated a five-fight winning streak which included the likes of Andrea Lee, Roxanne Modafferi, and Joanne Wood.

How do you think Miesha Tate will do against Lauren Murphy?
