Drake meets Alex Pereira after he has withdrawn against him
'Champagne Papi' lost a huge piece of money when Periera Ko'd Adesanya in the fifth round of their first UFC fight, who followed a long rivalry in kickboxing who had picked him up two more victories against his Nemesis.
Nevertheless, Drake remained loyal when the middleweight duo in April 2023 rematch for the belt on UFC 287.
In two separate bets, he supported Adesanya for an amount of $ 900,000 before putting 'Patan' to sleep in their fourth fight.
Drake won all the money he lost on UFC 281. Since then he has lost it all again by supporting Adesanya in his recent bad form of form, including back-to-back title defeats against Sean Strickland and Dricus du Plessis.
The 38-year-old decided to keep his money and not bet on Adesanya's newest fight against Nassourdine Imavov, in which the UFC Saudi Arabia ended in a shock second round knockout for the French 'sneaker'.
Drake did Pereira back to beat Jamahal Hill at UFC 300 – he won $ 519,750 when their fight ended in a KO.
So it was all friendly when the two men arrived at a concert in Sydney, Australia on Saturday.
A video that goes viral shows Drake that shakes Pereira's hand and thanks him for coming to the show.
Drake calls his favorite UFC hunter
Both Adesanya and Pereira could not get a mention when Drake recently revealed his favorite UFC hunter.
Nate Diaz takes that honor, where Conor McGregor also gets some love from the five-fold Grammy winner.
“I will strictly answer this question based on only someone who is most thorough for me,” replied Drake when he was asked to call his favorite UFC hunter of all time in December. 'Like, you just can't get more thorough than this guy.
“I respect people where you are where you come from and nothing else can change. The money, the victories, nothing. So for me it's Nate. That is my favorite hunter because Nate is just crazy.
“Of course it is of course, I have other favorite hunters. I love Conor [McGregor] With all my heart that is my husband.
“I am talking about when they are rappers, who would I listen to? I would listen to Nate and Conor. Nate is just one of those people. Nate goes nate and that's it. I respect the Diaz brothers, shout at them. '
