Paddy Pimblett and Molly McCann helped debunk the ‘Drake curse’ as a hoax, by winning big at UFC London
Drake is an avid MMA follower, and obviously keeps track of some of the biggest fights of the year. Drake has famously supported Conor McGregor at UFC 229, and on various occasions, openly expressing his admiration for the Irish superstar. He is often seen betting big money on fights, also loosing some in the process.
Drake has conjured a reputation of being a bad luck for fighters that he supports or bets on. In the past he had famously bet big bucks on Jorge Masvidal to beat bitter rival Colby Covington, and on Justin Gaethje to dethorne Charles Oliviera as the lightweight champion. While Masvidal’s sting was extracted by the high-pressure chain wrestling of Covington, who breezed past his rival with a unanimous decision victory, Charles Oliveira dismantled Justin Gaethje in an adrenaline fueled one round fight and submitted him.
The famed Drake’s curse came to closing when Israel Adesanya beat Jared Cannonier at UFC 276. The hip-hop star had a bet a million dollars on the Nigerian.
Drake bet a big fortune on Paddy Pimblett, and Molly McCann ahead of their fights at UFC London.
