Drake’s ‘curse’ continues as he lost another massive bet today, and Dricus Du Plessis won the fight! The rapper had placed a whopping $450,000 bet on the match and on Israel Adesanya to win back his middleweight belt from the reigning champ. Unfortunately for them, Du Plessis is still sitting on the throne and he even posted after winning! Drake would’ve walked away with $855,000 if ‘The Last Stylebender’ beat Du Plessis. However, there was a submission loss and the whole octagon was roaring with excitement.

DDP decided to thank the famous rapper and posted on X saying, “From the bottom of my heart once again THANK YOU @Drake” Adesanya was on the ground for round 4 and then DDP unleashed his strikes on his opponent. He secured the takedown and then ended the match with a rear naked choke. Drake had shared an Instagram post saying, “Always with Izzy,” before the tournament had started, however, things backfired!

Even fans took a jibe at Drake and said that the loss was because of his involvement in the bet. As per the reports suggested by outlets like Happy Punch, Drake’s betting history now stands at 17 wins and 189 losses! Unfortunately, he has lost 92% of the bets he had given throughout his betting history. This is not the first time Drake lost betting on Adesanya clearly.

The Canadian rapper had bet on the Nigerian fighter during his match with Alex Pereira. According to reports, staked almost $2,000,000 but it did not go as expected because Adesnya was KO-ed in that bout. However, things were looking good when he placed a $400,000 bet on Adesanya and he knocked out Pereira in the rematch. Now it is again back to square one and the people who bet on Du Plessis are rejoicing. On the other hand, Du Plessis might be taking a dig at Adesanya but he apparently apologized to his parents!

The duo might have been fighting about who was the real African fighter but in the end, everything was golden. Even though DDP Won the fight, their animosity finally saw an end as both of them had a lot of respect for each other after the match. He even gifted Adesanya a jacket backstage. He also went up to ‘The Last Stylebender’s’ parents with his girlfriend Vasti Spiller. The champion hugged his opponent’s parents and even apologized to them for any offense he might have created while trash-talking with their son. He even thanked them for “for raising a warrior,” and showed utmost respect.

Izzy’s parents took his apology and his warmth with open arms and showed their love to DDP as well. even Adesanya was speaking to Du Plessis’ coach behind the same video. Now the place seems clear for Sean Strickland and Du Plessis rematch as he is the latter is the reigning champ. However, even Robert Whittaker is in the scene and he is facing Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 308.

This could mean either Strickland fighting Du Plessis or the winner of Whittaker vs Chimaev. Who do you think DDP is going to fight next? tell us in  the comments below.
