Drake bet $1 Million on Israel Adesanya winning UFC fight and he wins.
Israel Mobolaji Odunayo Oluwafemi Temitayo Owolabi Adesanya (born 22 July 1989) is a Nigerian-born New Zealand professional mixed martial artist, kickboxer. Adesanya 32, has swept all comers in the middleweight division with ease and is the bookies' favourite to leave International Fight Week with his strap in tow.
