‘I wanna call him up’… Joe Rogan offers Drake UFC fight advice to end ‘curse’ rumors
Joe Rogan gets frustrated when he sees Drake losing money.
The legendary rapper is known for his multi-million dollar bets on major sporting events, and he always posts proof on social media ahead of major UFC and boxing events.
However, he loses more than he wins. In fact, Drake has become infamous for supporting the wrong side so often that people have started joking that he is “cursed.”

Joe Rogan offers help to break 'Drake Curse'
During a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, music producer Scott Storch brought up “Champagne Papi” and expressed interest in working with him.
“I really want to work with Drake, but Drake is holding me back,” Storch said. “I know Drake loves me and my production, but for whatever reason I wasn't able to get it.”
The mere mention of Drake's name sent the UFC commentator off-topic.
Rogan immediately started talking about Drake's bad fight bets.
“I want to get a hold of Drake and talk to him about his fighting choices,” he said.
“That son of a bitch loses more money on fights [than anyone]. I want to call him.'
Rogan's producer reminded his boss that the “One Dance” hitmaker recently won a big bet.
Drake backed up a $450,000 Jon Jones KO before the heavyweight champion took on Stipe Miocic at UFC 309 earlier this month.
Drake earned $954,000 when Jones knocked his opponent to the ground with a spinning back kick to the stomach in the third round of their pay-per-view main event.
Still, Rogan remained unimpressed by Drake's fight bets.
He added: “Wasn't Jon Jones a 600/1 favourite? That's what I would have said anyway. I mean, that's an easy guess.”
Tom Aspinall provides an update on Jon Jones' negotiations
Interim heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall has been waiting in the wings for a shot at Jon Jones, who has done everything he can to distance himself from the bout.
'Bones' prefers to fight Alex Pereira, but UFC boss Dana White has insisted there will be no clash as Jones needs to unify the heavyweight division with Aspinall.
After initially fearing he would be dodged, Aspinall is now confident he will get his long-awaited shot at the legitimate heavyweight title in 2025.
“I'm confident it's going to happen,” Aspinall told Bloody Elbow.
'Obviously I have to keep a lot of things secret. I've had conversations with the higher-ups in the UFC and they are confident that this will happen.
“I don't know from Jon's side, but I do know from my side and the UFC side it's very likely.”
