Dricus du Plessis reacts to Drake losing yet another massive bet wagering against him

Dricus du Plessis, the UFC middleweight champion, was elated that the hip-hop megastar, Drake, had lost a large bet wagering against him at UFC 305. The Canadian star is well-known for spending a lot of money on his favorite sports teams and athletes.

Ahead of the highly anticipated middleweight clash at UFC 305 between former champion Adesanya and current champion du Plessis, the rapper posted a screenshot of his betting invoice, where he put up $450,000 on the Nigerian-born Kiwi, hoping to cash in $850,000 if he hit the wager.

Unfortunately for Drake, Adesanya was defeated via fourth-round submission by du Plessis, who was overjoyed not only to have successfully defended his throne but also that his skills had caused the man who bet against him to lose a ton of money.

The champion posted on his social media how delighted he was at the turn of events:

"From the bottom of my heart once again THANK YOU @Drake"

Drake is allegedly a gambling fiend as he has spent a tremendous amount of money on different teams and athletes, even on sports that he barely knows about.
