Following the action at Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) 278, Canadian rapper, musician, and actor Aubrey Drake Graham shot to the top of the trend.
Drake bet a sizable sum of money on professional mixed martial artist (MMA) Kamarudeen Usman, a Nigerian-American competing for the welterweight championship.
In the wee hours of Sunday, August 21, 2022, British professional mixed martial artist Leon Edwards shocked Usman with a victory.
Drake, a well-known superstar, is rumored to have wagered enormous sums of money on multiple UFC fights.
Drake placed a $200,000 first-round wager on Usman to defeat Edwards. The other involved a $230,000 victory for Jose Aldo in addition to a victory for Usman.
Drake lost a total of $430,000 on two UFC278 tickets and the consequences of his bets were defeats for both of the participants.
