The drake curse strikes again on Sean Strickland, Dricus Du Plessis thanks drake and trolls him.
In a thrilling battle for the UFC Middleweight Championship, Dricus Du Plessis emerged victorious over Sean Strickland this past Saturday night. However, Du Plessis had an unexpected person to thank for his win – music superstar Drake.
Before UFC 297, Drake placed a massive $700K bet on Strickland to defeat Du Plessis. It’s no secret that whenever Drake bets on a fighter, they tend to lose, leading to the infamous “Drake Curse.” And true to form, Dricus Du Plessis defied the odds and came out on top.
After the fight, Du Plessis expressed his gratitude towards Drake, acknowledging the impact of the betting curse. “O snap almost forgot, Thanks Drake,” Du Plessis wrote, clearly aware of the irony behind the situation.
If the judges had scored the fight in Strickland’s favor, Drake would have walked away with a whopping $1.379 million. As a humorous twist, Drake’s hit song “God’s Plan” played after the post-fight interviews, adding to the entertainment value of the evening.

While Drake may have suffered another loss in his betting endeavors, it’s safe to say that he will bounce back. Fans of the “Drake Curse” hope that this won’t be his last misfortune, as it has become a running joke in the sports world.
On the other hand, Sean Strickland may not be as thrilled to know that a mainstream music artist bet against him on fight night. Strickland, known for his defiance of social norms, might see this as a contradiction to his rebellious image.
In the end, perhaps Strickland’s loss to Du Plessis was truly “God’s Plan.” Regardless, Dricus Du Plessis can now proudly wear the UFC Middleweight Championship belt, and Drake can add another chapter to the ever-growing legend of the “Drake Curse.”
Stay tuned for more exciting moments and unexpected twists in the world of sports, where even the most unlikely events can unfold before our eyes.
