Drake FaceTimes With Israel Adesanya, Reveals He Has A Massive Bet On UFC Champ (VIDEO)

As always before a huge event, a ton of money will be changing hands when UFC 276 kicks off.

In a call to Israel Adesanya, who is set to face off against Jared Cannonier on Saturday night in Las Vegas, legendary rapper Drake told the current UFC middleweight champion that he’s betting big on him to win.

“You know I put a light million up, I wasn’t playing,” Drake said in a video call to Adesanya.

“Return on investment is a lot.”

Adesanya is currently a -490 favorite, which would net Drake $250,000 if he wins.

Adesanya, who is currently 22-1, said he’d seen the musician twice live and was looking forward to Drake watching him in return.

Adesanya has successfully defended his middleweight belt four times, against Robert Whittaker, Marvin Vettori, Paulo Costa, and Yoel Romero.
