He has a long history of putting big money on the UFC - but also a nightmare record of throwing his support behind those who go on to lose.

And the nightmare streak continued on Saturday.

Drake backed Kamaru Usman to beat Leon Edwards with two bets adding up to £169,000.

One had Usman to win while another had the Nigerian to secure it in the fourth.

However, he was stunned by Edwards' perfect head kick which KO'd the reigning welterweight champ and secured his status as only Britain's second-ever UFC world title holder.

Earlier on in the night, Drake lost £194,000 after backing Jose Aldo to beat Merab Dvalishvili.

However, the Brazilian was also stunned in a unanimous points defeat.

Drake, 35, backed Jorge Masvidal to beat Colby Covington but saw that £230,00 go down the drain in March.

And he wasted another £340,000 in May when Charles Oliveira submitted Justin Gaethje in the first round after he put his money on Gaethje.

However, Drake did finally get one right when Israel Adesanya retained his middleweight crown against Jarod Cannonier.

But his rotten return is not limited to UFC.

His £186,000 bet on Charles Leclerc to win the Spanish Grand Prix went up in smoke when the Ferrari driver's engine failed.

The likes of Anthony Joshua, Serena Williams, Jadon Sancho, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Sergio Aguero and Miami Heat have all been undone after support from the Passionfruit singer.
