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 heavyweight debut.
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 that has reportedly scuppered the likes of Anthony Joshua and Jadon Sancho, 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 upset 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 via a split-decision from judges.
Jones’ fight tonight will be his first fight in three years and could see him return as a champion after dominating the light-heavyweight division.
