After dethroning Pereira, Adesanya was asked about Drake's bet during his post-fight press conference.
"Shoutout to everyone that bet on me but you have to realise that when I step into the octagon I put my life on the line," he said. "That's the biggest parlay you can ever do. I'm a betting man too so shoutout to stake, we are about to make another deal and get more money."
