The Drake curse is back.
Drake put a bet on former UFC featherweight champion José Aldo at UFC 278 as he returns at bantamweight to face surging contender Merab Dvalishvili.
After losing $270K on that one, the rapper decided he would double down and take Kamaru Usman to finish Leon Edwards. He also added Usman to win in the fourth round of the fight.
None of those things happened and the rapper ended up losing around half a million on the card.
The hip-hop artist has a long history of betting on UFC fights which includes most recently backing British pair Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann in a double bet. UFC 278 was another pay-per-view event which saw Usman lose his title after being knocked out cold by British challenger Edwards in the main event at the Vivint Smart Home Arena last night.

The rapper has frequently been accused of cursing fighters with the public display of his UFC betting slips seen as a detriment to the fighters.
Basically, if you see Drake bets, put your money down on the other fighter.
