Canadian rapper and producer, Drake has once more dipped into his pockets ahead of a high-profile UFC card, slapping a whopping $500,000 wager on defending middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya to defeat Sean Strickland tonight at UFC 293.
Headlining the promotion’s return ‘Down Under’, undisputed middleweight champion, Adesanya takes main event honors in Sydney, Australia against surging challenger, Strickland – attempting to launch his first defense of his second reign atop the middleweight pile.
Regaining supremacy of the division back in April of this year in Miami, Israel Adesanya stopped common-foe and arch-nemesis Alex Pereira with a hellacious second round knockout in ‘The Sunshine State’ – lodging his first win over the Brazilian in five attempts across combat sports.
