Leon Edwards‘ crazy upset win over Kamaru Usman at UFC 278 made Drake‘s pockets a bit lighter this weekend — ’cause the rapper lost out on a $200k bet!!
“The Nigerian Nightmare” was handed just his second professional loss after a head-kick knockout in the fifth round … a result that had the fighting world absolutely shocked.
Drizzy was so confident the fight would end up in Usman’s favor, he actually put up nearly a quarter million on an Usman knockout.
Of course, that didn’t happen … so all that dough went down the drain.
Edwards got wind of Champagne Papi’s bet … and made sure to clap back at the rapper in his post-fight interview, telling him to make the right decision next time.

As it turns out, Drake was taking Ls left and right on Saturday … because he also lost $230k after Jose Aldo lost to Merab Dvalishvili.
It’s become a trend for Drake to place massive sports bets … but it hasn’t gone too well for him over the years — he’s lost close to a million bucks on UFC fights alone.
