After $500,000 ‘Drake Curse’ That Ended Up With Israel Adesanya Loss, Rapper Receives an Ultimatum From Dustin Poirier and Jorge Masvidal Camp

It seems that more and more people are beginning to believe in the ‘Drake Curse’. The ‘Drake Curse’ is the superstitious belief that any fighter that the pop star bets on will end up losing their bout. The belief has been around for several years now, and it has been blamed for the losses of many top UFC fighters, including Conor McGregor and Jorge Masvidal. Over the years, the ‘Drake Curse’ has become a powerful superstition that many believe in. Recently, the ‘God’s Plan’ singer put up a whopping amount before Adesanya locked horns with Sean Strickland.

The majority strongly believed that ‘The Last Stylebender’ was going to win the bout, as he was a two-time middleweight champion. When it comes to Sean Strickland, it was his first-ever title clash. The upsetting results of the bout, where Adesanya lost via unanimous decision, were a huge shock to many, including Drake. After the Nigerian fighters’ shocking loss, even the MMA gym American Top Team began to believe in the Drake Curse. Now they have put forward a weird request for Drake.
