Drake bets whopping $250,000 on Jon Jones to submit Ciryl Gane at UFC 285 – but fans fear curse could strike
RAPPER Drake has bet a cool $500,000 on UFC 285, but fans are worried his curse will strike once again.
Jon Jones will make his long-awaited return to the Octagon when he faces off against Ciryl Gane in his debut heavyweight division bout.
He is the odds on favourite, and Drake has backed those odds by placing $250,000 on him for a submission victory, while adding another $250,000 on a KO win.
However, given some of his recent betting history, fans are wary about his luck.
One fan said: “I was going to bet Jon Jones until I see this… Drake bad luck.”
A second declared: “Drake betting on Jon jones it’s over with Jon lost .”
A third commented: “If Jon Jones loses tonight I’m blaming Drake.”
A fourth remarked: “Drake might have just cursed Jon Jones smh.”
While a fifth added: “Drake bet on Jon Jones looks like Ciryl Gane it is.”
But should Drake subvert fans expectations and actually win, he stands to win a whopping $3million.

It comes after Drake placed a £350,000 bet on Jake Paul to knockout Tommy Fury.
This result did not come in, with Fury emerging victorious from the bout via a split-decision from judges.
Jones’ bout tonight will be his first fight in three years and could see him return as a champion after dominating the light-heavyweight division.
