UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya found himself in an embarrassing situation, only to be rescued by none other than the renowned rapper Drake. The incident unfolded when Adesanya extended his hand for a handshake with Edward Craven, the co-founder of Stake, but unfortunately, Craven failed to notice the gesture and walked away, leaving Adesanya feeling embarrassed.  Drake is already a part of Stake, and he doesn’t hesitate to share his gambling endeavors on his social media platforms. 

The numbers often leave people astounded. In fact, according to Casino.org, Drake placed bets using cryptocurrency valued at over £800 million within a span of two months after becoming a member of Stake, participating in a variety of sports and casino wagers. Israel Adesanya joined Stake in 2021 as their brand ambassador. Similar to Drake, even the current UFC middleweight champion has also promoted the company.
