Drake Facetimes With Israel Adesanya Before UFC 276, Reveals He Bet A $1M by emekson(m): 11:15pm On Jul 02, 2022
Drake has been in contact with Israel Adesanya, making fans suddenly worried about the UFC middleweight champion heading into his next fight.

Adesanya puts his title on the line against Jared Cannonier on Saturday night at UFC 276 in Las Vegas. An already eventful fight week for Adesanya – filled with big talk, a wild verbal sparring match with Sean Strickland, and an intense faceoff with Cannonier – got even more interesting when Drake reached out to FaceTime with him Thursday.

Adesanya shared a clip of his conversation with Drake on Friday night, calling it “Goat Talk” between one of the UFC’s all-time middleweight greats and one of the biggest rappers/singers in music today.

During the call, Drake revealed that he placed a $1 million bet on Adesanya.

“Bro, I already know what time it is,” Drake said. “You know, I put a light million up.”

“Light mil?” Adesanya asked.

“A light mil,” Drake responded. “I had to put a light mil on my brother. Return on investment is a lock.”

Drake also wished Adesanya luck before his fight and complimented him heavily.

“I just want to wish you good luck,” Drake said. “You know I love you, brother. You’re different. You’re a different guy, bro. I have a deep, deep, deep love and respect for you. A deep love and respect.”

After they hung up, Adesanya was practically wonderstruck.

“That was dope,” Adesanya said to the camera. “I like that. He gave me chills. … F*ck that was cool.”

Its okay to pick up. This only call I will not advice anyone to pickup before any important event like, a big match, major surgery, childbirth or exams/interviews is if the call is from the office of the President of Naija
