Drake Curse Strikes Again, Jorge Masvidal Lost to Colby Covington at UFC 272 After the Rapper Bet $275k on Him

The moment Jorge Masvidal lost his main event fight at UFC 272 to Colby Covington came down to one moment.  Some point to his failure to capitalize on a hook that dropped Covington down to a knee in the championship rounds.

That seemed like a wasted opportunity, but that's all it was.  The moment Masvidal lost the fight was when rapper and sports curser Drake dropped $275,000 on him to win the fight.

That's when Covington's victory was guaranteed.  He then took a unanimous decision victory home.

This two videos perfectly show what happened.  Drake placed the insane bet and Covington's hand was raised hours later.  It could end no other way.
