UFC 272: Colby Covington mocks Drake over US$275,000 bet on Jorge Masvidal – ‘go back to your little albums and rapping’
- Welterweight contender trashes Canadian rapper for placing huge wager on Masvidal, who lost by unanimous decision on Saturday night
- Covington says Masvidal ‘didn’t have another one minute in him to go. Just imagine if there wasn’t a ref there tonight – his life would have been over’
Drake lost big on Saturday night’s UFC 272 main event – and Colby Covington made sure to let the Canadian rap superstar know he backed the wrong horse.
Covington took a dominant unanimous decision against Jorge Masvidal, whom Drake had placed US$275,000 on to win.
The 35-year-old singer and actor shared a video on his Instagram story of him placing the bet, while ring announcer Bruce Buffer made the introductions for the five-round fight – a wager which would have landed him over US$1 million had Masvidal won.
Word clearly got to Covington, who took aim at Drake when he spoke to the media in Las Vegas.
“Let’s talk about all the money that Drake lost tonight,” Covington said at his post-fight press conference at T-Mobile Arena. “He needs to go back to selling those [expletive] albums to get back the money.
“I’m America’s champ … Drake, you suck at sports betting. Go back to your [expletive] little albums and rapping.”
