Paige VanZant's gym BEGS Drake to stop betting on its fighters after yet another UFC star falls victim to rapper's curse

PAIGE VANZANT'S gym has begged Drake to stop betting after his curse took another victim.

The rapper has developed an unwanted reputation for regularly losing thousands on gambling.

Drake has supposedly wagered around £800million on sports over recent years.

He lost £300,000 on his bet that Jake Paul would knock out Tommy Fury in February and he threw away £1.4m when he failed to predict that Israel Adesanya would be beaten by Alex Pereira last year.

His curse struck again at the weekend as he backed Adesanya to KO Sean Strickland, putting £400,000 on it.

However, in one of the biggest shocks in MMA history, the underdog secured an incredible unanimous decision victory.

Many are frightened of the "Drake curse", including Florida gym American Top Team.

They are home to the likes of VanZant, Dustin Poirier and Jorge Masvida.

ATT hilariously tweeted: "Dear Mr. Drake. Please don’t bet on any of our fighters. Respectfully."

Drake's bad luck with betting stretches outside of boxing and MMA too.

The Canadian superstar lost £820,000 on last year's World Cup final as he thought Argentina would win in 90 mins but they needed penalties to get the better of France.

He also cursed Barcelona by betting on them to beat Real Madrid and sponsoring the club's shirt for the game.

Drake needed Arsenal to win as part of his accumulator but after the Gunners did their bit versus Leeds, the Catalan giants lost El Clasico 3-1.

Maybe Drake should move away from sport, much like VanZant has, who now stuns on OnlyFans.
