DRAKE wins $1,840,000 on bet after Israel Adesanya knocked out Alex Pereira. (Read More Here).
According to several online sports books, Adesanya is a slight favorite against Pereira, coming in around -100 despite an 0-3 record against Pereira in the kickboxing ring and cage. Masvidal, meanwhile, is a far riskier bet as at least a +300 underdog in most lines.
Drake is no stranger to dropping big money on his MMA favorites, including Masvidal, whom he reportedly lost $275,000 in crypto when “Gamebred” lost a decision to rival Colby Covington.
He put £402k ($500k) on Adesanya to win the fight and £322k ($400k) on ‘The Last Stylebender’ to win by knockout.
Drake is slated to win £2.1m ($2.7m) should both his bets on the 33-year-old come through.
Loyalty is certainly one of Drake’s strong suits as despite losing £220k ($275k) on Jorge Masvidal after the Miami-born fighter lost to bitter rival Colby Covington at UFC 272, he’s stuck with ‘Gamebred’ once again as he fights in his hometown for the first time since 2010.
Despite losing £1.7m ($2.1m) after betting on Adesanya, who lost his UFC title to long-time rival Alex Pereira at UFC 281, that hasn’t stopped Drake from dropping a combined £725,000 ($900,000) on the Nigerian-born fighter to become a second time middleweight champion.Despite losing £1.7m ($2.1m) after betting on Adesanya, who lost his UFC title to long-time rival Alex Pereira at UFC 281, that hasn’t stopped Drake from dropping a combined £725,000 ($900,000) on the Nigerian-born fighter to become a second time middleweight champion.
Adesanya hopes to re-capture the UFC middleweight title he lost to Pereira at UFC 281, while Masvidal looks to snap a three-fight skid against one-time welterweight title challenger Burns at Kaseya Center in Miami.
Here are Drake’s big bets:
Adesanya via KO: $400,000 to win $1,840,000
Adesanya win: $500,000 to win $885,000
Masvidal via KO: $200,000 to win $1,720,000
Masvidal to win: $300,000 to win $1,410,000
Masvidal goes up against the Brazilian Gilbert Burns with ‘Champagne Papi’ dropping £241k ($300k) on the Cuban native defeating Burns and an additional £161k ($200k) to score what would be the 17th knockout of his professional career.
With ‘Durinho’ coming in as a massive favourite into the bout, helped by his impressive win over Neil Magny in January this year and Masvidal’s three-fight losing streak, Drake is in for a massive payday of £2.5m ($3.1m) if his bets come through.
Drake has bet big on Israel Adesanya and Jorge Masvidal knocking out the opposition at UFC 287.
The hip-hop star’s wagers with online crypto sports book Stake were posted on Saturday (courtesy of MMA Orbit), and $1.4 million dollars is on the line when Adesanya faces Alex Pereira and Masvidal meets Gilbert Burns. Adesanya and Burns are sponsored by Stake.
