What is the Drake curse?

The MMA world is full of curses, and one of the more famous ones is the Drake curse. The Canadian is infamous for being a sort of bad luck charm for the fighters.

Fans took notice of it when he walked out with Conor McGregor for his ceremonial weigh-in at UFC 229. The Notorious ended up losing the bout.

People also took notice of a picture Drake had uploaded with Anthony Joshua before he suffered a devastating KO against Andy Ruiz Jr.

Drake lost a large amount in the UFC 278 event after he put his money on Jose Aldo to beat Merab Dvalishvili and Kamaru Usman to defeat Leon Edwards.

Although, the curse isn’t 100%. Fighters like Israel Adesanya and Paddy Pimblett have broken the curse in recent times.
